 What's going on everyone got a branding movie review for you guys today and today we're discussing Melissa McCarthy's new film Can you ever forgive me me say Melissa McCarthy? You guys know that I'm not usually the biggest fan of her I do like her in some of her films But overall the one thing I've been so impressed with so far from her is her dramatic chops and this film puts it right out there Let me just state it this right now I think Gaga will still probably be my number one pick for this year's best actress, but McCarthy Will get nominated. I'll be shocked if she isn't she's delightful in here and we'll get to her performance in a little bit But what is can you forever forgive me about? Well, can you ever forgive me is about Lee Israel? It's based on a true story about this author who made her living in the 1970s and 80s Proflying the likes of very famous authors actresses celebrities whatever you want to name it Forging impersonating and documenting their different types of personal notes and diary letters and selling them and forging them To other like collectors and whatnot. It's a very fascinating story and it's something that you do need to watch This is a great film that just pulls you in that you sucked into Israel's life To a sense where you really care about her character even though she's very Despicable in what she's doing and in a sense. She's a villain of the story. She's the bad person But you're engaged with her character and a lot of that goes to not just the direction Which we will talk about the director in a little bit because she was fantastic in here It is most McCarthy's performance that really brings this all together. She is so damn good in this film I easily probably the second or third best performance. I've seen all year long Well, Karthi is so damn well in here is because her character is portrayed as of again. She's a villain She is pretty much the villain even though she is our protagonist again She's even our antagonist to this whole story. She's the antagonist to herself with throughout this whole movie And you ever forgive me tackles that in a very lime light type of way And I love what they did with this and styling that type of direction with her character There are internal struggles that she's dealing with there's external ones as well Two of the things that McCarthy really plays off of within this movie That was just brilliant from an acting standpoint to see is her subtle nuances is obviously she gets very nervous Is when she's in these buying deals and selling these types of forged art She knows is fake, but you can see is that it's progressing when it first starts She's so nervous. You see her hands twitching. You see her stressing You see that she's like sweating pretty much throughout the whole film. This progresses and when she gets kind of used to it She's not as stressed or nervous about it, but you can still feel that guilt that's on her face You see it straight on her face that she's just guilty as all hell a lot of that goes within her eyes and her facial movements It's not just in within the words and whatnot And that's one of the biggest strong points of being an actor actress is being able to show So much emotion not just through your words or being able to yell or scream Being able to transform into this character Lee Israel become that role cuz I didn't see McCarthy at all She just transformed. It's not because of the makeup or anything It's just because of who she's playing and it's just on her face You see all those subtle nuances and she just flows through the story so damn well One other thing though that really impressed me with her is though Yeah, she is known to be a very funny person and this film does have some phony moments to it as well It's very much a dramedy in some shapes, but It's not that over-the-top slapstick humor that she's doing in a lot of films like life of the party or say bridesmaids No, it's a subtle comedy where it feels very realistic It's something that you would be sitting down having a discussion with your friends And that's the type of humor where you're ha ha laughing at each other and Making fun of the situation and not some of the stuff that she brings about and she just mixes both tones So damn well. I just heard that gives a fabulous performance within here as well. Richard E Grant is superb in here I mean, what is the guy not superb? He just plays her gay best friend and I just absolutely love the nuances and the Superbity that he brought he just brings a different element and seeing the relationship and where it ends up going is just excellent There is one character in here named Anna played by Dolly Wells and let me just go as far to say this I really liked her character. I thought she was fantastic. I thought the performance was great There just wasn't enough of her and this is where I kind of get to my little bit of cons There's two characters within this movie that One that they name dropped throughout it and then they show once in one scene and then never talk about again And I feel like that was the one scene where I was like you could have cut that out and put a different scene with I was this character Anna and gone in the more depth with that character Maybe I know this is based on true stories Maybe that really was the ending arc of what they go through and what you see within this film But I wanted a little bit more of that I wanted more of their dynamic and I feel like there was more to say discover and explore within there And I wish the script would have gone into more detail on that instead of exploring this one random character That it just pops up or at least explored more of her character So she isn't just thrown in the middle of the film I will even go as far to say with as fantastic as the direction was within this and this fast-paced film because it Just flew by I just got I got pushed into this world I felt like I was sitting on a wall Watching these characters go through about their days and just didn't feel like I was watching a movie It really got me into the scenery But I wanted a little bit more. I think it could have been easily a little bit longer I think there was a couple scenes missing at sometimes not totally distracting But scenes that I would have liked to see and I would have like to see what didn't get to make into the film Yeah, Hiller who is the director of this film I've never seen a thing she's ever directed but man now I want to go back and research what she's done because she does such a fantastic job with this Yes, I know some of the scenes that I'm having a little gripes with are those but she directed a fast-paced Smooth film that gives excellent performances throughout the whole entire movie And who she directs literally McCarthy to give him probably the best performance of her career at this point and just being able to Tell a very fascinating story that's from a protagonist and your antagonist's Roles and viewpoints it's in it's engaging and that's one of one of the biggest words to describe the film is Engaging and not recommend. Can you ever forgive me any more than I can give right now? This is an excellent film It's definitely gonna be talked about at Oscar season and one more small thing that I need to just throw in there is Easily one of the best scores of this year is from this film. I the second it started playing. I was sitting there I was like this is Amazing. This is fantastic I absolutely love the score to score that I definitely will be purchasing when it comes out And I can't wait to hear you guys thoughts on can you ever forgive me? So with all that said, I'm gonna give this film a B Really engaged with this one guys and I was very shocked to see how great McCarthy was I know I've given her crap in the past but man I really hope she turns in more performances like this and goes more towards this dramedy or drama route because I think that's Where her main points are and where she can really exceed on this most important thing is I want to hear what your guys Thoughts are on the film.
