Presence
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this innovative paranormal narrative filmed completely through the eyes of a ghost.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper.

The Black Phone Horror

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals begin profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions.
