Presence
Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries with this innovative ghostly tale shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around.

The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about monetising the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress succeeds to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, Film4
