Even if you’re not a writer, it gets you to understand what it feels like when no one will give you a chance.

Such a unique story + deeply unexpected performance from McCarthy. Darkly comedic, layered, engrossing, and fun to watch. Highly recommend.

McCarthy is next level in this role and supporting cast elevates her performance. It is very subtle with lackluster stakes but still solid

The best McCarthy effort by a long shot.

I fully enjoyed this character as brought to life by Melissa McCarthy, whom I usually find to be a little too eager-to-please.

Best Melissa McCarthy performance I ever seen. She and Richard Grant are the perfect duo.

Melissa McCarthy proves over and over she can pretty much play any kind of god damn role she wants.

Better than I expected. It's a slow paced film, which was a nice break from my usual. Wonderful to see McCarthy in a serious role.

So lived in and real. McCarthy and Grant are perfect. Funny, sad, and never simplified.

Richard E. Grant definitely deserves that Best Supporting Actor nomination.
