The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary tackles the demanding standards for female beauty along with the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress reduced to hosting a fitness program on the small screen.

But after a mysterious woman falls into the sea one night and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Streaming currently, Netflix
Presence Film
The acclaimed director tests his film-making abilities in this nifty ghostly tale shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the ghostly being, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his cult stardom through this self-referential adventure.

The Black Phone
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong even without a continuation. Located in 1970s Colorado, a series of kidnappings has made the youth anxious. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears the worst. However, the non-functional line in the room keeps ringing, with spooky callers providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. An effective horror.

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 film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain manages to depict the character in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4

This period's another release from Steven Soderbergh delivers a espionage tale as precise similar to the collars used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy.
