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

Midwest Film Journal
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.

Creative Screenwriting
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] small-scale delight....Marielle Heller takes an unbelievable true story about an astonishing act of literary ventriloquism but makes it feel authentic through attention to detail...
Empire
CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME' invests significant narrative energy into the idea that a pure talent for words is what truly makes someone a writer -- only to completely subvert that notion in the finale.
The Atlantic
[A] smart, bleakly comedic film....Starring Melissa McCarthy in a finely nuanced dramatic performance that is quite different from the comedic roles that made her famous...
Los Angeles Times
[I]t has always been clear that McCarthy can find depth in unlikely roles. Here, she manages to make us empathise with a bridge-burning fraudster who has alienated all her former friends and colleagues...

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.
