Review of Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) by Axet — 07 Feb 2019

Not a fan of Melissa McCarthy (except in sketch comedy), but she carries this curiously original true story and is terrific. Here's an example of a new movie with no style gimmicks, just straight conventional filmmaking which is as atmospheric and full of feeling as anything and far better to watch as such than all the camera conscious junk much in vogue.

Poetic in its comedic pathos, the movie has the soul of great literary aspiration.
