Rating: 4/5 -- This film takes an altogether different view of the imitation game. By embracing frauds and failures, it achieves greatness on the sly. Full Review

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is one of those movies that's so good that you almost miss it the first time. Full Review

This film is a 'portrait of an artist' in its rawest form. It is an unflattering character study, yet also one of the most sympathetic too. Full Review

A terrific film, with a lot to say about ingenuity and loneliness. Full Review

Partly because the movie is so splendidly and completely absorbed in its characters and their milieu, it communicates much more than a quirky appreciation for old books and odd readers.

Rating: 4/5 -- To all intents, in 1991, 51-year-old Lee Israel is all washed up. With her glory days as a Manhattan celebrity profiler and biographer long behind her, she's broke, jobless and alone. Full Review

Product Description:

This true story begins with frumpy Manhattan celebrity biography Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) as her luck begins to change. Her cat is unwell, her job has just been lost and she's received an eviction warning meaning that she needs to make some money, and fast. She turns her creative hand to forging letters from well-known writers to earn a living. It works, but after getting her best friend Jack (Richard E. Grant) to help her stave off the authorities, it seems this money-making deception is drawing glances from all the wrong places. Directed by Marielle Heller.
