The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's Christian beliefs. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though the lead actress succeeds to present Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4

This week's additional entry by the same director presents a spy mystery as tight like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer.

The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of fact versus fiction develops. Additional actors participate the intelligent intelligence fun.
