Netflix; Click image to view trailer!!

‘May December’ is a provacative and chilling drama that delves into the complexities of a controversial relationship. Directed by Todd Haynes and written by Samy Burch, the film loosely draws inspiration from the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal. Creepishly good, Natalie Portman delivers a captivating performance as an actress who inserts herself in the life of Julianne Moore’s character, who is tabloid public pariah skillfully portraying her self desire to protect her secrets and maintain a mask of happiness. The film explores relationships through the themes of paranoia, regret, and the life changing lengths one will go to embody a role. ‘May December’ is an unsettling exploration of human nature and the consequences of regrettable choices that dares to you question your own morality.
