Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- McCarthy gets laughs for sure here, but the demands of this role -- a boozy, cranky woman with a battered heart and a backbone of steel -- are primarily dramatic. McCarthy meets every challenge...
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- The real delight, though, is in McCarthy and Grant’s bitingly rude and funny fraudsters....Grant injects a mix of charmer and rotter into Jack’s hustling, but it’s McCarthy’s prickly, vulnerable and bravely egotistical Lee who seals the film’s deal.
Total Film
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] small-scale delight....Marielle Heller takes an unbelievable true story about an astonishing act of literary ventriloquism but makes it feel authentic through attention to detail...
Empire
Rating: 3/4 --
Illustrates the slippery slope between white lies and felonies with disarming narrative grace.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
We give McCarthy well-deserved praise for taking on a role so unusual for her and so different than anything she's done.

Movies and Shakers
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The film has its entertaining moments and some comical one-liners McCarthy can't help but deliver no matter how dramatic the role...

A terrific film, with a lot to say about ingenuity and loneliness.

Product Description:
This true story begins with frumpy Manhattan celebrity biography Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy) as her luck begins to change. Her cat is unwell, her job has just been lost and she's received an eviction warning meaning that she needs to make some money, and fast. She turns her creative hand to forging letters from well-known writers to earn a living. It works, but after getting her best friend Jack (Richard E. Grant) to help her stave off the authorities, it seems this money-making deception is drawing glances from all the wrong places. Directed by Marielle Heller.
