Top Selection

The Substance Film

Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique tackles the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the dreaded aspects of growing older. The veteran actress delivers a masterful performance as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity forced into starring in a fitness program on television.

This produces a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between them. Friday 17 October, Paramount Plus

The Woman in Cabin 10 Film

This Agatha Christie-esque mystery features Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who opts for some time off from writing about world issues to join a high-end voyage accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her spouse, plus additional extremely wealthy guests. But after an unknown lady falls into the sea overnight and the entire crew denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts awaken. Streaming currently, on Netflix

Presence

Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the filming device – representing the ghost – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

The iconic actor embraces his unique fame in this meta comedy caper. He portrays a self-obsessed film star named Nicolas Cage who accepts a million-dollar gig to visit a festive event at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. This Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4

The Black Phone Horror

Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, several kidnappings has rendered the youth frightened. Once Finney gets captured by the villain and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates the worst. However, the old telephone in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, while the prophetic visions of Gwen, his sister could save him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4

The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to present the character with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4

This Espionage Thriller

This period's second offering from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as tight similar to the collars used by the actor's intelligence officer. His assignment is to discover a mole within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his spouse. Both actors are masters of understated style, so a delicious mental battle of fact versus fiction develops. The supporting cast take part the clever spy entertainment.
