Todd Haynes’ signature visual commentary on subversion, sexiness, and societal norms really get us through the holidays. His newest film explores the life of a married couple who have traversed tabloid drama and come out seemingly unscathed… until a new person arrives in their tight-knit community. Little by little, cracks in the relationship begin to show. Truly a drama that pushes the limits, with actress heavyweights Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman. (dir. Todd Haynes, US, 2023, 113 m)
“It takes a remarkably self-assured filmmaker to turn such a lurid tale of abuse into something so wildly entrancing and entertaining, but Todd Haynes’ mix of tenderness and camp is a perfect fit for May December.” – IGN
