This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, however Chastain achieves to show the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
