I get that this type of story can't really have anything exciting to offer, but the terrible pacing and long dragged out scenes, made the 106 min runtime feel like 3 hours. It should've been trimmed down/sped up to no more than 85 mins. Nevermind it was a totally boring topic for a biography - like who really cares except for maybe the writers/authors out there. There are many more interesting and must-be-told biopics out there than this one. However, I will say I was very impressed with McCarthy's outstanding and out-of-her-wheelhouse performance. Good on her to expose her talent range. Even Richard E. Grant was perfect for this role and a great match for McCarthy's character. Directing and cinematography were decent and the score on point. Would I see it again? Nope. Would I recommend it? Only to writers and McCarthy fans, of which I am, and the only reason I chose to see it.
