Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this nifty supernatural story captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, on Film4
