The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's a riot of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to present Tammy Faye with compassion. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
