The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's a riot of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet the lead actress succeeds to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, on Film4
