Re: The Eyes of Tammy Faye Too saccharine in narration and too light in drama section, the movie could have done a little better in terms of handling serious topics or impact/reveal of some harder topics. Chastain though is definitely amazing in this role and Garfield outshines her in most more serious moments.

Re: The Eyes of Tammy Faye Yeah I'd go B- too but Jessica Chastain is great. Definitely award-worthy.

Re: The Eyes of Tammy Faye This has great performances but is way too by the numbers and cheesy to make an impact. C

Re: The Eyes of Tammy Faye I found this interesting but by the numbers biopic for sure.

Re: The Eyes of Tammy Faye Honestly out of all the probable Best Actress nominees Jessica Chastain would be my second choice to be winning after Kristen Stewart. She's so much better than Kidman in Being The Ricardos. I love Kidman and would love for her to win another Oscar but not for that movie. She's very good in it but not amazing and it's such a mediocre movie. This is also a mediocre movie but Chastain's performance is great enough that it doesn't matter.
