This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse.

It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and bad faith, though Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure with compassion. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
