The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
