"Melissa McCarthy is criminally good." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"It's the human side of the character that makes this McCarthy's best performance to date, revealing haunting insights into friendship, loneliness, and creative insecurity. That it does so from a uniquely female perspective is a bonus at this particular moment." - Peter DeBruge, Variety

"At once a low-stakes crime drama, a buddy comedy, a period piece and a loving tribute to a woman who at this point in her life and career did not feel loved." - Monica Castillo, rogerebert.com

In Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Melissa McCarthy stars as Lee Israel, the best-selling celebrity biographer (and cat lover) who made her living in the 1970s and 80s profiling the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, Estee Lauder and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen. When Lee found herself out of step with the marketplace, she turned her art form to deception - forging and selling letters of the famous and dead - abetted by her loyal friend Jack Hock (Richard E. Grant), until it all fell apart. Based on Lee Israel's novel of the same name.
