Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries in this innovative supernatural story shot entirely from the perspective of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements.

This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, Film4

This period's another release by the same director delivers a spy mystery as precise similar to the collars used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is with uncovering a mole among the team from five suspects – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett.
