Monday Night Film Series presents, Can you Ever Forgive Me?-FR

Event Details:

The Monday Night Film Series presents, 'Can you Ever Forgive me?' In this film, Melissa McCarthy stars in the bizarre true story of a down-on-her-luck writer who embarked on a startlingly successful second career as a literary forger (98 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes).

Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) made her living in the 1970s and 80s profiling the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, Estee Lauder and journalist Dorthy Kilgallen. When Lee is no longer able to get published because she has fallen out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception, abetted by her loyal friend Jack (Richard E. Grant). An adaptation of the memoir "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" relays the true story of the best-selling celebrity biographer (and friend to cats). Nominated for three Oscars for Best Actress (McCarthy), Best Supporting Actor (Grant) and adapted screenplay.

"'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' is that rare movie you never want to end, a film about broken people, loners who hover on the fringes, who scavenge what's left of the important stuff that more socially competent humans leave behind."  Sarah Stone, The Wrap
