Director: Michael Showalter. Cast: Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, Cherry Jones, Vincent D'Onofrio. 126 min. Biography.
- Yes, Jessica Chastain (again and again and again ...) kills it by proving her acting prowess, but biography movies have come a long way since the days you could merely find the equivalent of a movie life story in books, or the newspaper, or in today's case ... Wikipedia. Two hours go by, and save for an opening scene where Tammy refuses to entirely remove her make-up (suggesting she's not telling us the whole story), you see almost nothing from the director or screenwriter's perspective on who Jim Bakker or Tammy Faye were and what they think the couple were all about. We're just watching a biography - not thinking about it.
