IMDb plot summary: When Lee Israel falls out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception.
Directed by Marielle Heller. Starring Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells, and Ben Falcone.
Melissa McCarthy is definitely the shining star of this film. The script is mostly solid, though it seems to be missing a few beats in the latter half, but it is an academically interesting story to follow, and McCarthy imbues humanity into her character in a very engaging manner.
