This Dramatic Portrait
In the conflict between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, though Chastain succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
