This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse.

It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and bad faith, yet Chastain succeeds to depict the character with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
