The Eyes of Tammy Faye Reviews
The Eyes of Tammy Faye recounts a series of events in high-camp style, and seems to think that is enough.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2024
Jessica Chastain's the sole saving grace in this dull affair.

The tabloid fable also provides valuable lessons for Christian women today who face the moral crossroads of the hateful politics that often accompany far-right religion.

An unrecognizable performance from Jessica Chastain She truly is the reason to see this movie!! The film is entertaining top to bottom… but I left wanting more. This will be an interesting discussion when it releases wide

Jessica Chastain is doing the best work of her career with a deserving SAG win to showcase. Unfortunately, the film offers no compelling argument for why audiences should watch this instead of the documentary.

Chastain manages to capture the perfect balance of strength and vulnerability as she portrays Tammy fighting to achieve her dreams and smiling through the judgments of society who criticize her age, gender, and sex life.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2023
The years fly by with such reckless abandon that, when it finally ends, the movie does the opposite of what it seemingly set out to do. It leaves Tammy Faye as a tragic caricature and nothing more.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2023
Only making a small splash at the box office, The Eyes of Tammy Faye moved me incredibly because of Jessica Chastain’s transformative performance...

The Eyes of Tammy Faye is a sometimes over-the-top cautionary tale about the possibility of losing yourself along the road to success.

It goes so easy on [Tammy} that there's not a lot of meat on it... but [Chastain's] is still great in it.

The whole film seemed engineered to get her [Jessica Chastain] that little gold man, and her performance was often most noteworthy for the sheer level of transformation involved.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye may not break new ground for biopics, but Jessica Chastain’s crackerjack lead performance makes it enormously entertaining.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022
A bewildering mixed bag.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022
Chastain's performance elevates the film and gives it the edge its writing lacks.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2022
Jessica Chastain's ability to create a whole and sympathetic person under a virtual, and sometimes seemingly immobile, mask is surely what her Oscar nomination is honoring (and for which she just won the SAG Award).
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jul 22, 2022
A straightforward and simplistic biopic that prays for more gumption, bombast, pluck and verve.
| Jun 25, 2022
In the film's very first scene with Tammy Faye in front of a makeup mirror. with her permanent eyeliner & lipliner, she looks into the camera and says, "This is who I am." It's sad, a little funny, and thanks to Jessica Chastain, it rings absolutely true.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 16, 2022
This drama, that perhaps should've been a grotesque comedy, sets out to redeem an unredeemable character. The Eyes of Tammy Faye is an absolute disaster. [Full review in Spanish]

... A plain and simple imitation of real figures in a dramatized, flat, and superficial version of the documentary feature that inspired [the film]. [Full review in Spanish]

Mediocre biopic... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 16, 2022
