The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple commence capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to present the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
