The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain achieves to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
