Seven films to watch on TV this week, led by Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter

The Guardian's TV and radio section has picked seven films to watch on TV this week, naming Joanna Hogg's The Eternal Daughter as its pick of the week. The film is set in a mist‑shrouded Welsh country hotel and features Tilda Swinton in dual roles as film‑maker Julie and her elderly mother Rosalind, who come to stay at the rural venue; the piece notes unexplained noises and the mother's mixed recollections. It is listed for Friday 23 January, 11pm on BBC Two.

Other recommendations include Henry Koster's 1950 comedy Harvey, with James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd (Sunday 18 January, 11am, Film4); Stanley Donen's 1963 crime caper Charade starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn (Sunday 18 January, 1.10pm, Talking Pictures TV); and Nida Manzoor's Polite Society, a punchy comic thriller starring Priya Kansara as Ria (Wednesday 21 January, 9pm, Film4).

The list also features Connor O'Hara's Kindling, about five friends confronting the imminent death of their pal Sid (Thursday 22 January, 11.30pm, BBC Three); Macon Blair's remake of The Toxic Avenger starring Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze (Thursday 22 January, 2am, Sky Cinema Premiere); and Coralie Fargeat's 2017 Revenge, which focuses on Matilda Lutz's Jen (Friday 23 January, 11.10pm, Legend Xtra).
