Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
传记电影看起来尤其让人唏嘘，这女孩小时候多可爱多纯真，一心向善的人遇到鸡贼卷入人世间……我估计这届是影后吧。
相当漫长的两个小时，导演真的没有匠气，恁是拍成了流水账，不过这几年传记片拍成这样的也不在少数，可见社交网络是多么的少见。该片流水的讲述了塔米菲自己的虔诚信仰，不幸的婚姻，丑陋的骗财等故事，以最后站上舞台表演无聊收官。不多的表彰点在女主表演和化妆，拿捏的很到位，但与此加菲的表演可以说是挺差的，尤其是两人对比下还是挺惨的，最后其实想说虽然每个人都是多面的，但好莱坞也大可不必老是像本片一样掩盖人的丑陋而侧重其优点
影片复古惊悚气质营造出色，尤其地铁遭遇一段，高光就在那个本不起眼的塑料袋上：即使暂停使劲儿看，也看不出有何端倪。但是逐渐放大的画幅却把压迫感推向崩溃的边缘。以镜头语言的角度，袋子里盛放的不是一颗人头，而是女主角心里无法抑制的恐惧。
总是跳戏蜘蛛侠，怎么破? 这个化妆厉害了 YF
我劳模姐真的拼了，非常出色的表演。当然感觉用力很猛，不过也是很有戏剧张力。
臭长且无重点，剧本和表演都像Jessica Chastain脸上的妆一样乱七八糟，不忍直视。这种一塌糊涂的长篇传记，不光浪费人物，还很伤害看客。
塔米·菲和她妈之间的感情戏，以及她妈妈的转变，挺感人的。全剧，塔米就像一个真诚但迷茫的孩子，不断探索不断走失，但她最终选择为少数人群发声，用真实的、平等的目光去看待并接触他们，好伟大。
Jessica是个很好的演员，她可以为了一个角色改变说话的方式、节奏、音高，完全create出一个和以往角色不同的人物，这一点在Tammy Faye里再次得到印证。她值得拿奖，虽然完全可以因为一部更好的电影..而这部电影除了她的表演，一无所有...
tammy faye因信仰而幸运，逃避于信仰之中，陷落于背弃信仰的指责，最后被信仰“救赎”~这其中的成长与变化比娱乐史上给她的标签重要的多~最终的最终，理解了自己的母亲，其实是人性的救赎~而信仰，才终于回到它本来的位置~
在我眼里，宗教是个可恨可爱的组织，但总的来说，利用宗教做坏事的人毕竟是少数。不入任何宗教，以自己的良心来善待苍生，或许是另一种信仰？
无比工整且无趣的奥系片，大概也只有在颁奖季才让人有想看的欲望。劳模的表演很出彩，情绪把控非常精准，但在这种除了冲奥毫无意义的电影里也无法更进一步带来惊喜。
7分。看到了基督教是如何贯穿人的一生的。劳模姐演得不错。
颁奖季传记片一般也就看个表演，电影没有特别出彩的点。
但是劳模姐演的太好了，从头到尾的纯真以及时不时的神棍感，强打精神的咯咯笑，以及没人倾诉的落寞，太出色！看来要补补她的戏了。
可以说除了杰西卡查斯坦和加菲尔德的表演外，无论在题材还是视听上都不具备吸引力，总体来说乏善可陈 ★★☆
孤独氛围的心理惊悚片，类型元素一个不少，最后的反转也很老套。女主在陌生城市，语言不通，没有亲友的环境中，一切都在孤独中变的惊悚。欧洲小国似乎成了欧美大国营造惊悚恐怖的圣地。
不喜欢这种基督教电影，感觉很迷信很洗脑传销的感觉。男主的长相我本来就不喜欢，女主后期的扮相，妆发也很丑
哈哈～怎么觉得加菲也还不错。可能在美国太出名了有些细节和过渡就默认不作交代了导致感觉浮皮潦草，劳模姐毁容演出是不错的，但是……私心希望她是以一个更个性的女性角色捧下小金人
中间整大段叙事效率挺低的，停滞不前。人物塑造和人物关系也停留在表层。过去的故事用如今的观念来解构还不错。
7.0，同样叙事流水的传记片，《梅艳芳》最起码也得跟这部学学。
