The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband.

It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though the lead actress achieves to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, Film4
Black Bag
The current week's another release by the same director is a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks used by Fassbender's intelligence officer.
