Film
Can You Ever Forgive Me (15)
Dir. Marielle Heller, US, 2018, 106 mins.
Cast. Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells.
PROGRAMME UPDATE: Due to a programme clash we overlooked, starting time for the screening on Wednesday 6 March has been changed from 5.45pm to 6.30pm. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
A jaded, out-of-work biographer (McCarthy) resorts to selling forged historical letters on the black market and grapples with the ethical complications that arise in Heller’s charming, true-life biopic about bestselling writer Lee Israel. Nicole Holofcener’s script plugs into our obsession with celebrity and authenticity, while Richard E Grant lends superb and sobriety-free support.
