This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen televangelist and her felon spouse. Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who proclaims early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple begin capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
