Presence
The acclaimed director tests his creative boundaries in this clever supernatural story filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though the lead actress manages to show the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a intelligence thriller as precise as the polo necks sported by Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to discover a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are experts of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of fact versus fiction takes place. Additional actors take part the smart espionage amusement.
