The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
