This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold commentary tackles the tyranny of women's appearance and the feared consequences of growing older.

This produces a younger clone named Sue, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount+

The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple set about profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, on Film4
