Based on a 2008 memoir of the same name, Melissa McCarthy finally gets the dramatic role she deserves, shining as best-selling celebrity biographer (and friend to cats) Lee Israel, who made her living in the 1970's and 80's profiling the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, and Estee Lauder. When Lee is no longer able to get published because she has fallen out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception, abetted by her loyal friend Jack (the caustically witty Richard E. Grant). A New York Times Critics Pick, Rolling Stone Magazine writes, "Believe the Oscar buzz for Melissa McCarthy in this true story of an out-of-work author who took up forgery to pay the bills." Rated R, the film runs 106 minutes. Closed captioning is available. Enjoy 40th Anniversary giveaways at each screening!
