The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though the lead actress achieves to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
