This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold commentary examines the tyranny of feminine aesthetics as well as the feared consequences of ageing.

After a clan including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions.

This Creepy Thriller
The director's locked-room horror holds up well without requiring a continuation. Taking place in the late 70s in Denver, several child abductions has rendered the local kids on edge. After Finney gets captured by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads a fatal end. But the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers providing assistance, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple set about monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, late night, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
