The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
We first meet Tammy Faye when, as a child, she simply could not stay away from the church, despite being told that she would shame the family by going. Her encompassing belief and dedication to God is a throughline for her -- as is her love for every single person, regardless of lifestyle. It's just impossible not to like her because her arms were thrown wide.
Chastain is brilliant here. Though the facial prosthetics on both her and Garfield are less than seamless, the performances are top-notch. If the world were full of Tammy Fayes, the world would be -- quite simply -- full of love and acceptance.
