The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, on Film4
