The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold critique examines the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics and the feared consequences of ageing.

This Creepy Thriller

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. The actor plays the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
