The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse.

It's a spectacle of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
