Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this innovative paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of a ghost. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the camera – representing the ghost – shadows their actions.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
