The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet the lead actress succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
