The Eyes of Tammy Faye

In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, though Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
