Bit of a slow burn, but Melissa McCarthy acts the shit out of it. Made me want to read Lee Israel's book.

Superb performance by an unrecognizable Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant, who gives his best since Withnail & I. The movie self is watchable, but unmemorable.

Surprisingly moving, but perhaps too character-driven and conservative in plot development to be anything more than a "nice movie". McCarthy's exceptional in the role and keeps you emotionally engaged throughout – found myself sobbing at a couple of scenes. Good but not memorable.

Can You Ever Forgive me is relentlessly depressing, but also very engaging and funny. It does justice to its source material while crafting an immersive and intelligent drama.

Dolandırıcılık ve sahte evrak hazırlama filmi. Mesleğindeki başarıyı kaybeden 1 yazar, ünlülerin mektuplarını değiştirip satmaya başlar. İyi para olduğunu görünce, ünlüler hakkında sahte mektuplar yazıp satılığa çıkarır. İlginç senaryo, harika oyunculuklar ile başarılı. Buluşma sahnelerinde tempo düşüyor. Filmin sonunda, kendini aldatıp hikayesini yazmış. Sen de yaz yaz yaz bir kenara yaz bütün sözlerimi. Yanılırsam çık karşıma göster kendini.

McCarthy is great, perhaps there could have been a little more substance to end the third act. None of this went anywhere, she didn't even receive a viable punishment for it and there was no growth whatsoever in any of the characters apart from the poor book store owner she manipulated and tried to be friends with. It fails to resonate, leaving two outsider type characters in an ending that brings everything full circle even though that goes against the characters and the way they acted.

It's the sort of Academy standard film that feels like it was made less by a director and more by a machine on autopilot. McCarthy's performance is good but only considered particularly noteworthy due to the career she's led and how against type this is. It's all fine, nothing special, nothing noteworthy, except I guess the actual notes by definition.

Doesn't deserve all the talk about it that made me watch it. There is not enough story to make a movie, and it is full of clichés (even the shots of New York City are so obvious and rare that you'd think they got them from stock video).

This film made me chuckle at times and I like the rebellious, mischevious aspect of both of the main characters. Its an interesting true story - 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, I'd definitely recommend this film to others.

This was just extremely watchable. From excellent performances to solid direction and writing and pacing, I had little to nitpick on, and found myself engaged in the story's trajectory more often than not -- a feat considering the outcome is pretty much locked down before the first frame.
