Film Choices

The Substance, Paramount+

Coralie Fargeat’s no-holds-barred satire about the tyranny of female beauty standards – and the perceived horrors of ageing – features an inspired bit of casting in Demi Moore, who plays a role with echoes of her own career. More than holding her own amid a splurge of wince-inducing makeup effects, Moore is Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star reduced to doing an aerobics show on TV. Edged out by her slimy boss, Harvey (Dennis Quaid), she seeks to prolong her relevance by undergoing a mysterious – and very gruesome – procedure called the Substance. This spawns a younger clone, Sue (Margaret Qualley), and an increasingly vampiric relationship between the two. Simon Wardell

Black Bag, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

This week’s second offering from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as tight as the polo necks Michael Fassbender’s British agent George wears. He is tasked by his boss with uncovering a traitor in their midst from five suspects – one of whom is his own wife, Kathryn (Cate Blanchett). Both actors are masters of deadpan cool, so a delicious psychological game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela join in the intelligent intelligence fun as the other potential moles. SW
