The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though the lead actress succeeds to depict the character as a sympathetic figure.
