The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of poor styling, bad makeup and bad faith, though the lead actress succeeds to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
