The data source contained the conversation that was uttered by the characters from the movie “Can You Ever Forgive Me?â€. The descriptive qualitative research design was employed to obtain the research findings.

The results revealed that the movie utilized all impoliteness strategies. It was found that bald-on-record impoliteness had five utterances, positive impoliteness had four, negative impoliteness had three, sarcasm/mock impoliteness contained two, and withhold politeness had only one.
