The filmmaker's daring commentary examines the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of ageing.

The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye begin monetising the American public's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, bad makeup and insincerity, however the lead actress achieves to present the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4

He receives a mission to identify a traitor within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is his own wife.
