This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, though Chastain achieves to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
