The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain manages to show the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, Film4
