Presence Film
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities through this nifty supernatural story shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – as the unseen entity – follows them around. Chloe seems sensing the poltergeist, and the entity appears defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, with a twist you might not see coming. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel

This Saturday, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
The Spy Mystery
The current week's another release by the same director presents a spy mystery as tight as the polo necks worn by the actor's British agent. His assignment is to discover a mole among the team from a group of five – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett.
