Through a chain of emotional and satire events, this film relates the biography of a standout amongst the best American old writers, Lee Israel. She composed numerous life stories for well known performing artist, for example, Katharine Hepburn and Tallulah Bankhead. Tragically, her style doesn't get the appreciation of the cutting edge styles and suppositions, this thing makes her known for association in artistic phony.
Director Marielle Heller's latest brings out the best in both Melissa McCarthy and co-star Richard E. Grant in a story almost too bizarre to believe. It feels like a slow burn, but it's a stunner.
Melissa McCarthy's bid for dramatic cred is just nasty enough to be enjoyable, thanks hugely to Richard E. Grant's gleeful turn as a dimwitted but high-spirited end-of-the-line party boy who befriends our heroine just as she touches bottom.
Easily one of the best film's of the year, Marielle Heller's Can You Ever Forgive Me? sports career-best performances from Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant in a tender, biting, funny story about middle-aged failure and bitterness.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? works, largely, because director Marielle Heller and screenwriter Nicole Holofcener approach this totally unlikeable character from a place of unconditional love and understanding.
