The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
