The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics as well as the feared consequences of ageing.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband.

It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
