The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's a spectacle of poor styling, overdone appearance and insincerity, however the lead actress succeeds to present the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure.
