The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple begin monetising the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, yet the lead actress succeeds to present the character with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
