This week, we bring you an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield. This biopic tells the story of how Christianity got turned into showbiz. As Owen Gleiberman writes in Variety, “Chastain and Garfield give performances that are brashly entertaining but also canny and layered, as the characters get caught up in something far bigger than themselves.”
