The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster and her felon spouse.

It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, though the lead actress succeeds to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, late night, on Film4
