The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, however Chastain manages to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
