This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary examines the tyranny of women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of advancing years.

Presence
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this nifty supernatural story filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image through this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic celebrity named Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to visit a celebration on the Spanish island for billionaire superfan Javi. Hired by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has left the children anxious. After Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a basement, he dreads a fatal end. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain achieves to present the character in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
Black Bag
This period's another release from Steven Soderbergh presents a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to identify a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors excel of calm composure, leading to a delightful psychological game of fact versus fiction unfolds. The supporting cast join in the intelligent intelligence fun.
