Eyes of Tammy Faye, The [Opens Sept. 17 in theaters.] Stunning acting dominates Michael Showalter's insightful, factually inspired, compelling, evenly paced, well-written, star-studded (Vincent D'Onofrio, Sam Jaeger, Mark Wystrach, Louis Cancelmi, Gabriel Olds, and Jay Huguley), 126-minute biographical film based on the 2000 documentary and punctuated with acerbic wit that chronicles devout, eccentric, authentic, gaudy, puppet-loving, Diet-Coke-addicted, singing televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker (Jessica Chastain/Chandler Head), who grew up with her piano-playing mother (Cherry Jones), her mom's husband (Fredric Lehne), and eight siblings in Minnesota, and her ambitious, arrogant, hypocritical, insecure husband Jim Bakker (Andrew Garfield) who had two children (Lila Jane Meadows and Kyle Riggs) together and built the largest Christian broadcasting network, the PTL Club, and religious-based family theme park during the 1960s and 1980s only to lose their religious empire through fraud, financial shenanigans, scandal, sexual improprieties, and conspiracy.
