Movie Review: Can You Ever Forgive Me – A Darkly Comedic and Introspective Film.
Can You Ever Forgive Me is an engrossing drama sprinkled with dark comedic moments and plenty of sarcasm.

As Lee, McCarthy transforms herself into an unapologetic asshole of a human being. The way McCarthy carries herself in Can You Ever Forgive Me highlights what a magnificently talented actress she is. Her portrayal of Lee Israel is vastly different from the slap-stick and physically comedic roles she’s played in films like Bridesmaids and Spy, and I loved it.
