Poor Things to Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – the seven best films to watch on TV this week

A risk-taking performance from Emma Stone is at the heart of the latest, deeply weird yarn from Yorgos “The Favourite” Lanthimos. She plays Bella, a young woman who died but was revived with the brain of her unborn baby by the Frankenstein-esque Godwin (Willem Dafoe). As she learns to walk and talk, she yearns to discover more about life. Lothario Duncan Wedderburn (a hilariously louche Mark Ruffalo) has designs on being her svengali – but Bella has a mind of her own and a unique way of seeing the world. Adapted from Alasdair Gray’s novel and set in a stunning, not-quite-realistic Victorian era, it’s a delightful, disconcerting comedy.

Sam H Freeman and Ng Choon Ping’s debut feature is a deft, complex exploration of queer desire and fear by way of a revenge thriller. Nathan Stewart-Jarrett is Jules, a drag performance artist who endures a homophobic attack from the thuggish Preston (George MacKay) and his mates. Then he spots Preston in a gay sauna and decides to seduce him … The power dynamic between the two shifts constantly as Preston struggles with his true self and Jules begins to soften towards his assailant in a thought-provoking, sensitively acted drama.
