What is The Eyes of Tammy Faye about?
The Eyes of Tammy Faye is a delicate investigation of Tammy Faye’s personal faith, which often placed her at conflict with the evangelist boys club and the incipient melding of religion and conservative politics in the 1980s.
It is based on the 2000 documentary of the same name. Chastain puts both Tammy Faye’s flawed complicity and her resilience, she was always made-up and ready for a second act, on dramatic display here, bolstered by strong performances from Garfield as Jim, whose soft-spokenness belied laser-focused ambition, and Vincent D’Onofrio in a supporting role as an imposing Jerry Falwell Sr.
From her poor origins as the hidden only child of her mother’s unsuccessful first marriage to her surprisingly intense college engagement with Jim, she tells the storey of her life.
Before Jim’s conviction for scamming viewers and donors in 1989, they worked together to perfect the message and delivery of the prosperity gospel that would attract so many followers to their satellite network and Heritage USA theme park at the height of their popularity, they explore it all.
