Atom User Reviews
This movie had me locked in from the start. I found the story so fascinating that I loved Melissa McCarthy's character so much even though she was very nice. I rooted for her and I was so happy I did!
Great movie, Melissa McCarthy was surprisingly great. Ate a lot of food throughout the movie, made me hungry.
Metacritic
What is on paper a small-time heist film in the vein of the Coen Brothers or Breaking Bad is ultimately a cover for a more observant and relatable portrait of loneliness.
The miracle is Melissa McCarthy, whose tortured portrait of disgraced celebrity author and convicted forger Lee Israel is the consummate performance of her career and the crowning achievement of her life. I have seen Can You Ever Forgive Me? twice, rubbing my eyes with astonishment and discovering something new and wonderful each time. This is my favorite film of 2018.
Partly because the movie is so splendidly and completely absorbed in its characters and their milieu, it communicates much more than a quirky appreciation for old books and odd readers.
