The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about profiting from the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Chastain manages to depict the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
