Highlighted Choice
This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's bold critique addresses the tyranny of feminine aesthetics along with the feared consequences of growing older. Demi Moore presents a brilliant performance in the role of Elisabeth, a mature film star reduced to presenting a fitness program on television. Edged out thanks to her deceitful superior Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a secretive and horrifying process titled this experimental method. This generates a new version of herself named Sue, leading to an increasingly vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This classic whodunit mystery includes Knightley as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for some time off from covering international wars to board a high-end voyage with a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her spouse, and other affluent passengers. Yet once an unknown lady disappears from the ship one night and everyone denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Available now, Netflix
Presence Film
Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this innovative paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears protective of her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He portrays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a million-dollar gig to appear at a celebration at a Mediterranean location for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. This Saturday, prime time, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest holds up well despite the lack of a sequel. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children on edge. Once Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he fears a terrible outcome. But the old telephone in the room repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. An effective horror. October 11th, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain achieves to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
