This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the tyranny of women's appearance as well as the perceived horrors of advancing years.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
