The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's delightfully tacky true story about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the nation's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to present the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, on Film4
