The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, though the lead actress succeeds to show Tammy Faye in a likable light.
