Reviews

‘A riveting, unleashed and award-worthy performance from Jessica Chastain, playing a central character full of tensions and contradictions, is reason enough to see this film.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘Jessica Chastain gives a hilarious turn as Tammy Faye: like Tammy Wynette with a bit of Nancy Reagan and Eva Perón.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
