The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to depict the character in a likable light.
