This Satirical Thriller

This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of the phantom.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky biopic about the fallen televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares initially, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, excessive cosmetics and hypocrisy, however the lead actress achieves to depict the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, early morning, on Film4
