This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims initially, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, yet Chastain succeeds to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
