The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though Chastain achieves to present the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, Film4
