This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner.

It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Chastain succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
