The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however the lead actress succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, 1.15am, Film4
