Any of you seen this yet?
Entertaining story of the rise, fall, and redemption of Tammy Faye and Jim Baker as televangelists and as people. Not sure how true to real life it is, but the story keeps most of the running time on the relationship between Tammy and Jim. Good acting across the board with Jessica Chastain giving one of her most committed performances to date. I don't know if we should hand her the Oscar, but if you're a fan of hers, you've got another performance to enjoy and see why she's a solid actress. Andrew Garfield also does well as Jim and Vincent D'Onofrio gives good support. The movie probably won't go down as a classic or great film, but it does its damndest to make you look past Tammy Faye's famous makeup.
3/4.
