This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though the lead actress achieves to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, Film4
