Tilda Swinton shines in Joanna Hogg's latest drama, 'The Eternal Daughter', a poignant tale of love, loss and remembrance that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and nostalgia. Set in a Welsh country hotel shrouded in mist, the story revolves around Tilda Swinton's dual roles as Julie, a film-maker, and her elderly mother Rosalind. As they spend their birthday weekend at the hotel, which was once the home of Rosalind's aunt, Julie becomes increasingly unsettled by unexplained noises, while her buttoned-up parent's recollections of childhood visits there encompass both happy and painful memories.
On the other hand, 'The Toxic Avenger' offers a wildly different viewing experience. The 1984 cult classic has been remade, with Peter Dinklage taking on the role of Winston Gooze, a mild-mannered chemical factory janitor turned green-hued, superpowered crusader against his company's dubious health and safety policies. This film is part eco-horror, part comedy of errors, and its success relies on Blair's effortless balance between tone and camp.
Meanwhile, Nida Manzoor brings her punk energy to 'Polite Society', a feature film debut that combines the show's signature style with the tried-and-true narrative of sibling rivalry. The story follows Ria, a teenage British Muslim martial arts fanatic who dreams of becoming a stunt performer, as she plots sabotage against her older sister Lena and their affluent, but uncool, brother-in-law.
In contrast to these three films, 'Charade' is a sophisticated romance that takes place in the picturesque city of Paris. Cary Grant stars alongside Audrey Hepburn as two experts in quick wit and smooth romance who navigate a thriller about stolen money, bad guys, and complicated relationships.
Lastly, Coralie Fargeat's 'Revenge' tells the story of Matilda Lutz's Jen, whose weekend getaway at her married lover's desert home turns into a nightmare when his associates show up. After being sexually assaulted, thrown off a cliff, and impaled on a tree, she takes retribution in an impressive transformation from trophy mistress to angel of death. The film is a visceral thrill ride that balances feminist empowerment with raw violence.
'The Eternal Daughter' will air at 11pm on Friday, January 23rd, while 'The Toxic Avenger' will be shown on Thursday, January 22nd, at 2am on Sky Cinema Premiere.

peter dinklage is hilarious as that mild-mannered janitor turned toxic crusader! the film is like a wild rollercoaster ride of eco-horror & comedy - i loved how they balanced the tone perfectly. but u know what would've made it even better? if they included more disability representation 
as a parent, it's super important to me that we see diverse characters on screen, especially in leading roles!
Tilda Swinton is always a standout in any film, and this one sounds like it's gonna be super emotional. I mean, dual roles as mom and daughter? That's some next-level acting right there 
. And have you seen the trailer? It's giving me all the eerie vibes, perfect for a Friday night watch 
. I'm also intrigued by "The Toxic Avenger" remake - Peter Dinklage is hilarious, and who wouldn't want to see a green-skinned crusader fighting against corporate villains? 
. Tilda Swinton's dual roles are cool and all, but let's be real, she's still playing the same old character types – quirky and artsy, but ultimately a little too perfect 
. And don't even get me started on how 'The Toxic Avenger' is just a cheap attempt at a remake, it's like they're trying to cash in on a cult classic 
. At least 'Polite Society' is trying to bring some fresh energy to the table with its punk vibes and sibling rivalry drama 
.
. The misty Welsh country hotel setting sounds so atmospheric and haunting. Can't wait to see her play both Julie and Rosalind - it's like she's tapping into this deep well of emotions. Reminds me of some old family dramas I used to watch with my own parents when I was younger... nostalgic feeling 
first of all Tilda Swinton's dual roles in 'The Eternal Daughter' sound like such a wild ride, I love when actresses take risks like that 
her character Julie seems so complex and nuanced, can't wait to see how she navigates the relationships with her mom. on the other hand 'The Toxic Avenger' remake has me chuckling already 
meanwhile Nida Manzoor's energy in 'Polite Society' is giving me life 
. Meanwhile, I'm super excited to watch the remakes! Who wouldn't want to see Peter Dinklage as the Toxic Avenger 
? And 'Polite Society' sounds like so much fun - I love that Nida Manzoor brings her punk energy to the big screen 
. The only one that's really got me stoked is 'Revenge', though... Matilda Lutz's transformation from victim to vengeful angel of death looks INSANE 
!
tilda swinton in 'the eternal daughter' looks so hauntingly beautiful - love how she's playing dual roles too. meanwhile 'polite society' is giving me all the 90s vibes 
nida manzoor is killing it as the punk lead. and omg 'revenge' just sounds so intense! 
cant wait for january 22nd/23rd to catch these films on sky cinema premiere 
also 'the toxic avenger' remake looks so much fun, i loved the original when i was a kid 
meanwhile, 'polite society' looks so relatable, i'm all about that sister rivalry drama 
but what really caught my eye was 'revenge', that scene where jen takes retribution is just WOW 
tilda swinton's acting range is insane as always, but this film has a really unique vibe to it... like, have you ever been in a place that feels like a character in itself? 
i love how the film is exploring family dynamics and nostalgia through this misty wales setting. it reminds me of that one anime series where the main character goes back in time and interacts with their past self... 
. but what really got to me was how the film explores the complexities of family dynamics and nostalgia, it's like they dug deep into my own feelings and put them on screen 
i'm still thinking about it days after watching it, that's a good sign, right? 
but im also lowkey excited for 'Polite Society' with nida manzoor, her punk energy is giving me some serious vibes 
? and coralie fargeat's 'Revenge' sounds like a wild ride! have you guys been following these movies? let's chat about it 
Tilda Swinton is literally a national treasure

. "Tilda Swinton shines" is a pretty vague statement - can we get some more specific details about what she does? And what's up with the random switch to 'Charade'? It feels like we're just dropped into the middle of a different review without any context 
.
just saw this and i'm like totally intrigued by 'The Eternal Daughter' - Tilda Swinton is always a win
