Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
The filmmaker's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for female beauty along with the perceived horrors of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a brilliant acting turn as Elisabeth, a mature celebrity reduced to hosting a workout series on the small screen. Forced aside by her slimy boss Harvey, she seeks out an enigmatic and terrifying procedure known as this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a progressively toxic connection among both women. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller stars Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a skilled journalist who decides to take some time off from writing about international wars to embark on a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her partner, plus additional affluent passengers. Yet once an unknown lady falls into the sea overnight and everyone denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Available now, the Netflix platform
Presence
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this nifty paranormal narrative shot entirely through the eyes of a ghost. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. The daughter appears conscious of the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his unique fame in this meta comedy caper. He plays a narcissistic film star playing himself who takes on a lucrative offer to appear at a celebration on the Spanish island for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Contacted by the CIA to investigate the alleged criminal, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the youth anxious. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. Yet the disconnected phone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices giving advice, and the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, though the lead actress achieves to depict the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
The current week's another release by the same director presents a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He receives a mission to discover a mole within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars excel of understated style, resulting in an engaging psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. The supporting cast take part the intelligent intelligence fun.
