The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist and her felon spouse.

It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to depict Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, late night, Film4
