The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain manages to show the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
