The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
