Review of Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) by Netflic — 12 Nov 2018
It is an adaptation of a book with the same name about a biographer Lee Israel who turned to illegal tricks after she could not get published any longer.
To make a living, Lee forged and sold several hundred letters of famous people to collectors and antics' shops before she got caught.
Lee is played by Melissa McCarty, and her performance is outstanding.
The subject of the movie was not very interesting to me yet the way the film was made turned my experience rather enjoyable.
Plenty of sour humor here but I would not call it a comedy; it is a drama with some comic relief.
The atmosphere of New York circa 1980-1990 is very good one as well.
