The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals set about profiting from the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Chastain manages to depict the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
