DocumentaryDramaRomance126 min

From the 1960s through the 1980s, Tammy Faye Bakker rises from a Pentecostal upbringing to the bright lights of televangelism, building a religious broadcasting empire alongside husband Jim Bakker. Jessica Chastain is Tammy Faye, all mascara, stage presence, and public warmth, while Andrew Garfield’s Jim helps turn their ministry into a national brand. As fame, money, and rivalry close in, the film follows the couple’s climb from humble beginnings to scandal and collapse, with Cherry Jones and Vincent D’Onofrio rounding out the world around them.
