This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about monetising the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though Chastain succeeds to show the character with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
