Age Rating, Sex, Violence & Language
From the 1960s to the 1980s, evangelist Jim Baker and his ambitious wife, Tammy Faye, rose from humble beginnings to build an empire based on big-time evangelical Christianity--only for the couple to fall from grace because of some all-too-human sins.
Rated PG-13 • 2021 • 2h 6m
The rise and fall of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker and her husband Jim. Jessica Chastain won the Academy Award. The PG-13 rating is appropriate — the film's most challenging content is its portrayal of religious fraud and one explicit scene depicting sexual assault. A surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a complicated woman.
