Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)
Starring Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells, Anna Deavere Smith, and Jane Curtin
Directed by Marielle Heller
Written by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty

Summary (in 500 words or less):  The true story of biographer Lee Israel who, despite having a best-selling book, is no longer able to get her old-school-styled works published.  In 1991, desperate to make a living, she turns to a life of literary crime, creating letters in the voices of famous writers -- like Noel Coward and Dorothy Parker -- forging their signatures, and passing these fakes off as the real deal in an attempt to get money. 



The RyMickey Rating: B
