Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJessica Chastain said she initially had the impression that Tammy Faye Bakker often had running mascara, as parodies and impressions of Tammy Faye on late night TV and Saturday Night Live (1975) often featured her crying with heavily running mascara. Chastain noted that when researching Tammy Faye, she couldn't find a single image or video of her with mascara running; Tammy Faye only wore waterproof mascara.
- GoofsWhen their son was born and Tammy admitted to her affair the President was Ford not Reagan. So Jim did not receive a letter from President Reagan at that time.
- Quotes
Rachel Grover: Oh, Tammy Faye. You follow blindly. In the end, all you are is blind.
- Crazy creditsTammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) gives a thumbs up at the end of the closing credits.

Featured review
Too politically correct,Jim is much worse of a person than portrayed
For starters: the acting was very decent, but the story avoided edgy criticism to the money grabbing TV pastors. Yes there was a taste of that but could have beeen more shown. I do not buy it that there was any genuin faith in Tammy and Jim's life, except the faith of money. After checking Jim Bakker his Wikipedia bio, I really think he is much worse person than portrayed in this movie, specially what he has been doing last couple of years! I urge you to read that.(from "Return to televangelism" & further) because in the movie his story ends being in jail... Horrible man! Tammy Faye SEEMS much more likeable but again, I do not buy the love for God part, only the love for money..... Movie is "noncontroversial.
