![]() Grant – to turbo-charge this story of writerly fraud, but every beat of the film is just so, its portraiture as rich as the characters themselves are barely solvent. It takes an actress of McCarthy’s fearlessness – and a co-star as nimble as Richard E. Sandpaper-abrasive, not giving a fig – though she’d use filthier language – for anyone in her path, she’s a die-hard loner whose sole emotional attachment is to her cat. In Can You Ever Forgive Me?, McCarthy gets her most tragicomic role to date. Literary forger Lee Israel is such a singular antiheroine she could only, really, have been played by Melissa McCarthy, who has a rare gift for finding sympathetic angles on unbearable people. ![]() ![]() Grant, Dolly Wells, Stephen Spinella, Jane Curtin, Christian Navarro, Ben Falcone, Anna Deavere Smith. 15 cert, 106 mins ![]() Dir: Marielle Heller.
