Can You Ever Forgive Me?
horizontal line

A gloomy, well-acted, factually based, unevenly paced, star-dotted (Ben Falcone, Dolly Wells, Christian Navarro, Anna Deavere Smith, and Stephen Spinella), 106-minute film adapted from Lee Israel's novel Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Memoirs of a Literary Forger in which a broke, alcoholic, once-bestselling, cat-loving, curmudgeonly, Manhattan biographer Lenore Carol "Lee" Israel, who is socially inept and ignored by her snobbish agent (Jane Curtin), is down on her luck and resorts in 1991 to creatively forging more than 400 letters by famous authors to pay her rent and to treat her sick feline, and when her gay best friend (Richard E. Grant) rats her out to two FBI agents (Pun Bandhu and Erik LaRay Harvey), she is finally exposed.
