The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse.

It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, Film4
