The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
