Presence Film
The acclaimed director tests his film-making abilities in this clever ghostly tale filmed completely from the viewpoint of a ghost. After a clan including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the camera – representing the ghost – tracks their movements.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, however the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
