American
TV evangelist Tammy Raye Bakker (Chastain) – yuck. And she was born and raised
in my hometown. Yuck.
Poor
kid. Brainwashed into evangelism as a child. She grows up to marry Jim
(Garfield) and they become TV evangelists. Make lots of money, get famous.
Drugs and scandals.
It’s so
sickening I have to fast forward. Too bad reality can’t be fast forwarded.
Disgusting people, disgusting organisation. How can people fall for all this?
Is the film meant to make us feel sorry for her? It doesn’t. See them as
exceptions in the evangelical movement? They’re not.
Both
Chastain and Garfield overdo it. Or maybe underdo it. Tammy Raye and Jim were
probably even worse.
And the evangelists march on. It’s scary.
