MAY DECEMBER has been one of the most acclaimed films of 2023 with stunning reviews from its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival earlier this year. 

Headlining with Todd Haynes as the Director and starring Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman this is definitely one for the watch list.

Despite what began as a shocking affair, then 36-year old Gracie (Julianne Moore) and 13-year old Joe (Charles Melton) now lead a seemingly picture-perfect suburban life some 20 years later. Their domestic bliss is disrupted when Elizabeth (Natalie Portman), a famous actress, arrives in their tight-knit community to research her upcoming role as Gracie.

As Elizabeth ingratiates herself into the everyday lives of Gracie and Joe, the uncomfortable facts of their scandal unfurl, causing long-dormant emotions to resurface. In May December, director Todd Haynes (SafeCarol) explores one of the great talents of the human species: our colossal refusal to look at ourselves.
