POSITIVES…
- Amazing performance by Melissa McCarthy as Lee Israel. In a great character study of a role.
- Richard E Grant is spectacular as her friend Jack Hock.
- The chemistry McCarthy and Grant have together is great to watch.
- This has a fascinating but simple story to see play out on screen, and everything involving the crimes Lee Israel committed kept my attention until the end.
NEGATIVES…
- It’s a slow burn and seemed content with it’s slow pacing. A little too slow for my taste at times.
- Lee Israel is not a likeable person at all, so hopefully you can put up with her schtick.
P.S….
- Somehow I was expecting more fun 1990s era references. However, I really shouldn’t be expecting that from this kind of film.
