The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
