The Mother of all Flops... cheaply produced and so forth presented, underdeveloped characters, poorly written, the minimal literary craft of a novice, few surprises in a slothful plot, typical stock lgbtq characters.

This story about anti-social writer Lee Israel starts off OK and looks proficient enough – with neat direction, good Cinematography, and very capable performances. Melissa McCarthy convinces as Israel, trouble is, the two central charactersThis story about anti-social writer Lee Israel starts off OK and looks proficient enough – with neat direction, good Cinematography, and very capable performances. Melissa McCarthy convinces as Israel, trouble is, the two central characters simply offer nothing for us to like about them. Lee is a blatant and unrepentant thief in the form of a serial forger. She forges letters from famous show bis people, selling them to stores specialising in such items. Her partner in crime, played by Richard E. Grant is an equally unlikeable homosexual with no moral compass whatsoever. Together they con even those who offer them genuine understanding and friendship and hardly seem to care. As good as it looks; it soon becomes tiresome as spending time with these people is totally unrewarding. Might suit those who like character studies of characterless subjects. By the way, language is as you might expect, over the top. Expand
