Highlighted Choice

This Satirical Thriller

Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique examines the oppressive nature of female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of growing older.

Presence Film

Steven Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries through this nifty supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their recent residence, the camera – representing the ghost – follows them around. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere

Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he dreads a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. This Saturday, 10.50pm, on Film4


The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel

His assignment is to identify a double agent among the team out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. Both actors excel of understated style, leading to a delightful mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. The supporting cast take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
