Jessica Chastain Raves Over Andrew Garfield’s Performance in ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ (Exclusive Video)
The Wrap’s Robert Abele wrote, Garfield is queasily effective with Bakker’s boyishly manipulative use of his wife’s guilelessness and popularity as a vehicle for wealth, while ignoring the fissures that begin taking their toll on Tammy Faye. She turns toward the attentive glow of a handsome music producer (country singer Mark Wystrach), but the shame from that leads to a dependence on Ativan that, in a memorable scene — like many, re-enacted from the documentary’s archival treasure trove — that has Tammy Faye losing focus on the air.The televangelist biopic is currently playing in movie theaters.
