Capsule Addendum
A few weeks ago, I wrote a Capsule Review here about the upcoming movie, Can You Ever Forgive Me? starring Melissa McCarthy as a sad, snarky misanthrope, based on a true story, which I liked very much. At the end, though, I noted --
"I'm tempted not to post the trailer because, though it tells the story very well and presents the acting effectively, it gives a poor sense of the film. This makes it look like a tense crime thriller -- in fact, as I said, it's often extremely funny is far more a character study of the woman and later, her relationship with her acquaintance."
I did, however, end up posting the trailer, and, no, it didn't give a good sense of the film. Last night, however, I saw a :30-second TV ad which, though it didn't give a substantive idea of the story, it gives a far-better sense of the film's mix of drama, threat and humor.
