The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, on Film4
