This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries in this clever supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe settles into their recent residence, the camera – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise you might not see coming.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in this director's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
