Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2019)

Melissa McCarthy is masterful in the captivating account — based on a true story — of Lee Israel, a best-selling celebrity biographer in the 1970s and ’80s. When Lee (McCarthy) comes to the realisation that she’s no longer en vogue, she spins her art form into a perilous web of lies, deceit and outright crime to get back on top.
