This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for materialism in Showalter's wonderfully garish film adaptation about the fallen religious broadcaster and her criminal husband.

It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
