The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
