Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a 2018 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Marielle Heller and with a screenplay by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty, based on Lee Israel's memoir of the same name. It stars Melissa McCarthy as Israel and follows her as she tries to revitalize her failing writing career by forging letters from deceased authors and playwrights.

The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2018, and is scheduled to be released on October 19, 2018, by Fox Searchlight Pictures.

This was fine. Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant are great, but the film around them is kind of boring and goes through the motions a bit. But their performances certainly elevate it. B

Pretty solid drama, McCarthy is at her best in this against type role. It's not the most compelling film, but it's interesting and the leads are these zany characters that deliver the goods. It feels that there's actually not that much happening with the story, but the throwback to 80's New York is a nice setting and I just had a good time with the film.

B+
