The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain manages to depict the character in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
