This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield portrays the greedy Jim, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin monetising the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and bad faith, though the lead actress manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
