Review of Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 20 Nov 2021

This isn't the sort of film that brings massive laugh out loud moments but I found it certainly made me chuckle at times, none the less and I like the rebellious, mischevious aspect of both of the main characters.

Its an interesting story and its based on a true story I believe too, which is something I appreciate - im a sucker for a true life story, even if said story is about a writer unable to sell their story (if you follow).

The performances are good, especially that of Melissa McCarthy, she gives a stellar performance I thought and there is an emotional rawness towards the end of the film that I appreciated, plus some information about the true story is provided as the credits start to roll, which I liked, so due to all of this, I'd definitely recommend this film to others.
