This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4
