Chronicle of Tammy Faye Bakker’s journey through the faith and an account of the great scandals that would destroy her husband’s ministry, The Eyes of Tammy Faye seeks to tackle two fronts at once. The effort is admirable indeed and, to a certain point, entertaining and informative as the film tells a story that is still fresh in the minds of some who have witnessed it. Unfortunately, the end result feels like a fast-paced Cliff’s Notes version of what actually happened, at a blazing fast pace that takes away any semblance of impact. And unfortunately the exemplary achievements of most of those involved are lost in the process.
