Presence Film

Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills through this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely through the eyes of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of aware of the poltergeist, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains?

This Dramatic Portrait

In the battle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse.

It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Chastain achieves to show the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4


Black Bag

This period's another release by the same director is a intelligence thriller as precise similar to the collars sported by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He is tasked to discover a double agent within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is his spouse. The two stars excel of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of truth or lie takes place. The supporting cast join in the clever spy entertainment.
