The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the tyranny of female beauty and the dreaded aspects of growing older.

This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this clever supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their fresh home, the filming device – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and the entity appears guarding her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard.

The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has left the local kids anxious. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a cellar, he anticipates a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, yet Chastain succeeds to present the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4

He receives a mission with uncovering a traitor within their ranks out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment.
