Highlighted Choice
The Substance
The filmmaker's unflinching critique tackles the demanding standards for women's appearance along with the feared consequences of ageing. Demi Moore presents a masterful portrayal playing Elisabeth, a mature actress forced into starring in an aerobics show on the small screen. Forced aside due to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and terrifying process known as the Substance. This produces a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a steadily more parasitic dynamic between them. Friday 17 October, the streaming service Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque story includes the talented actress playing Laura, an ace reporter who takes some time off from reporting on world issues to board a high-end voyage accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and donor, her spouse, plus additional extremely wealthy guests. Yet once an unknown lady disappears from the ship overnight and all passengers insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity kick in. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh tests his directorial skills through this clever supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the filming device – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist that could catch you off guard. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor fully commits to his unique fame through this meta comedy caper. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to visit a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to gather intel on the potential kingpin, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has rendered the children on edge. After Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. Yet the non-functional line on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. This Saturday, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This period's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission with uncovering a double agent inside the organization from a group of five – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors are masters of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie takes place. Additional actors take part the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, the Sky channel
