The Substance
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold satire addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of ageing. Demi Moore presents an inspired acting turn as Elisabeth, an aging celebrity forced into hosting a fitness program on the small screen.

This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller features the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who takes a break from writing about world issues to embark on a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and donor, her husband, as well as other filthy rich individuals. Yet once an unknown lady falls into the sea overnight and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, on Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this clever supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the lens – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of aware of the poltergeist, and the entity appears protective of her. But why? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his cult stardom via this meta comedy caper. He portrays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a lucrative offer to appear at a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by the CIA to gather intel on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, prime time, Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective without requiring a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has rendered the children frightened. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a basement, he dreads a fatal end. Yet the old telephone in the room keeps ringing, with spooky callers giving advice, and the prescient dreams from his sibling Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however the lead actress achieves to present the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
The current week's another release by the same director is a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks sported by Michael Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked to identify a traitor inside the organization from a group of five – among them is his own wife. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of truth or lie develops. Additional actors participate the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
