The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain succeeds to present the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
