The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
