The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
劳模姐的演技太棒了完全值得奥斯卡影后。影片本身脚本一般般，没有深挖tammy faye的内心世界，纯靠劳模姐把一个又天真又神棍，又脆弱又顽强的复杂角色演绎出来。
信仰的力量可太强大了...
演员，表演，故事，各方面都挺OK的，居然才6.6？
传统宗教价值观与电视产业迅速发展的扭曲结合，生下的当代资本主义怪胎。Chastain似乎也为主角带来了多一点的女性视角。本来很疑惑为什么是搭配加菲，后来发现只是利用形象而已。
一对出身贫寒的虔诚的基督教徒，拼命努力向上，用独特的方式，赢得了教徒的信任，倾尽全力构建了自己的“传教网络”，成为福音界的传奇。但人性的贪婪，宗教界的倾轧，让他们跌落神坛，重新归零。“眼看他起高楼，眼看他楼塌了”一个典型的从创造传奇，到迷失初心，最终破产的故事。女主表演精彩，年龄跨度大，出神入化。
和里卡多一家拿的一样的剧本吧…对电影本身兴致不大，但是 劳模姐！封后吧！你值得！加菲的演技也有进步不过跟劳模姐相比接不住戏啊
或许讲述的是一个人一生的故事，未因因果缘起而让人觉得舒心，未因家财尽散牢狱之灾而让人同情，未因基督降临LGBT而让人改变，如同寡水一杯，倾倒在干裂的土地上，未及变作云雾，就消失不见了。讲述了一个人一生的故事，如同寡水一杯。
在电影院看的，真心不好看，奇奇怪怪可以看的出在努力搞戏剧冲突但是未免有点太难受了不如去看熊出没国语版还没有字幕，也不知道是长大了还是怎么了就感觉很不符合常理，还有人物设计的好丑，埋藏了政治元素，真的大可不必，还有点擦边球无语死了
那个蓝胖子与大傻子哈哈哈哈
她可以 不介怀夫妻矛盾 帮丈夫谈下合作伙伴 不顾及政局投来的橄榄枝 支持同性恋群体 她直率坦诚 从始至终 她做的事特别简单 通过自己来传播上帝的爱 god loves all
整个的剪辑策略比近些年很多同类片高出好几个档次，是少数的能扎实输出感染力的那种片。劳模现在的表演方式无限趋近于梅梅了，层次和情绪全都是饱和的，代入了，就会打动你；理智思考了，就会觉得假
她可以 不介怀夫妻矛盾 帮丈夫谈下合作伙伴 不顾及政局投来的橄榄枝 支持同性恋群体 她直率坦诚 从始至终 她做的事特别简单 通过自己来传播上帝的爱 god loves all
很风格化的一部传记电影，彩色胶片初期时的那种色调很怀旧，氛围感满满
传记片本身对人物挖掘不足，塔米·菲的宗教狂热和表演欲应该源自童年经历，但这段被过于囫囵带过，她和母亲的关系也没写出应有的张力，说到底导演还是想呈现一个心力憔悴的女性形象，演员的表演空间是舞台上下的反差，浮夸与空虚的对比，欲望的吞噬，索性劳模姐表演不错，尤其靠近结尾处独角戏更佳。
以当年著名电视布道家金贝克丑闻为主要事件的传记剧情片，呈现了美国1980-90年代宗教圈的实况，基要派大佬法威尔，CBN，同性议题，女权与父权，成功神学，左翼视角，米国信仰与选举的政治捆绑等，都有不同程度的涉及，复杂有趣，一路向下，昨天知道得了奥斯卡女主奖，昨晚看完头疼竟然无药而愈。哈
稳扎稳打的crowd pleaser传记片，谢天妆发没有get in the way，查从大学生演到中年的转变还挺信服的。【恭喜我查拿影后，还挺开心是Tammy这部片拿的，真的有在Tammy身上看到查的影子❤️
真的挺好看的。老少咸宜，小孩子不会看不懂，大人不觉得太幼稚。
这部电影是传记类电影。一下子让我想起之前看过的《玫瑰人生》，第80届奥斯卡最佳女主角。其实传记类电影，主角，很难get到人物的灵魂的，而一旦有了那点东西，或多或少，就是一部好的传记，也是好的表演。
虽然从来都理解不了宗教人士，但是看完还是很被tammy faye打动的，这大约就是申奥片学院派的力量。一根筋的乐观傻气又可爱。最喜欢年轻的tammy环顾一周，坚持抱着孩子挤进丈夫的餐桌，然后把孩子塞给丈夫。好解气。
没想到劳模姐居然还能有如此颠覆的表演，加菲相比之下各方面都稚嫩不少。很中规中矩的编年体传记片，对于如此“传奇“的人物，就显得平庸了。
