Pick of the Week
This Satirical Thriller
Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary examines the demanding standards for women's appearance as well as the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers a masterful acting turn playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star reduced to hosting an aerobics show on the small screen. Pushed out by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out an enigmatic and horrifying procedure called this experimental method. This generates a youthful duplicate named Sue, resulting in a progressively toxic connection between the two. This Friday, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller includes Knightley in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who opts for some time off from reporting on global conflict to join a luxury cruise with a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her partner, and other affluent individuals. However when a mysterious woman disappears from the ship during the evening and all passengers claims she was never there, Laura's investigative instincts take over. Out now, on Netflix
Presence
Soderbergh tests his directorial skills in this nifty supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of the spirit. After a clan including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the filming device – AKA the Presence – follows them around. Chloe seems sensing the supernatural presence, and the entity appears guarding her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom via this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic film star playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to appear at a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy superfan Javi. Contacted by government spies to gather intel on the potential kingpin, his unconventional method comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has left the local kids frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he fears the worst. Yet the non-functional line mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators providing assistance, while the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's another release by the same director presents a intelligence thriller as sharp as the polo necks used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. He receives a mission to identify a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is his own wife. The two stars are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
