The Substance
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance as well as the perceived horrors of ageing.

This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere

Once Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he dreads the worst. However, the old telephone in the room continues to ring, with eerie communicators providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however the lead actress achieves to show the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
