The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to show Tammy Faye with compassion. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4
