    The Eyes of Tammy Faye

    ★★★★★

    I haven’t seen the documentary which means I have nothing to compare it to, but watching knowing nothing about Tammy Faye and her heartbreakingly whirlwind life took me aback. The performances were incredible across the board anchored by Jessica Chastain’s depth. I cried many times throughout the picture, mainly because of Chastain’s look into the heart of Tammy. A wonderful picture of the remarkable Tammy Faye.

    The vibe and world Del Toro imagines makes this watchable. There were several chapters that didn’t feel fully explored, which in return didn’t leave the characters completely connected, which made The Shape of Water so special. Nevertheless another strong piece of cinema, if not a tad too long.

    I was excited for Sophia Coppola’s latest for a while, and it doesn’t disappoint. Beautiful shot, beautifully honest, beautifully written, Bill Murray is as charismatic as always, and Rashida Jones finally gets a chance as the lead role to shine! I loved every second of it!
