The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring satire tackles the tyranny of women's appearance along with the feared consequences of ageing. The veteran actress delivers an inspired portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity forced into hosting an aerobics show on the small screen.

This creates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount Plus

This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities through this innovative ghostly tale captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their fresh home, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and the entity appears defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple set about monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
