The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse.

It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet the lead actress achieves to present the character in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
