The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for materialism in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the corrupt Bakker, who declares early on, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however Jessica Chastain manages to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This week's additional entry by the same director presents a espionage tale as tight as the polo necks used by the actor's British agent. He is tasked to identify a traitor within their ranks from a group of five – one of whom is his spouse. Both actors are experts of understated style, so a delicious mind game of deception or honesty develops. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment.
