The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about monetising the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and bad faith, though the lead actress succeeds to present the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, Film4
