May December    [trailer]

Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.

Maybe the important observation to be able to somewhat able to "enjoy" watching the movie is that with the use of kitschy filters and an at times deliberately, overly dramatic score the film seems to tell the viewer not to take much of this seriously. But even then it was not very appealing to me given its story and the lead characters not being exactly likable.

Gracie is unwilling to acknowledge that what she did back then was wrong, and seems to be a controlling menace. Joe still looks and behaves like a kid. Which makes the story even weirder.

Elisabeth is not interested in objectively researching her role, going to extremes at the pet store, possibly actively trying to spend a night with Joe, and we can already hear her winning awards for her performance.

And given the whole meta level of an actress playing a role based on a real person, who then gets visited by another actress who wants to play her in a film, does the movie mock actors who perform in (award-baiting) bio-pics? All the while this movie itself clearly being awards-bait. I guess it's all up to the viewer to decide.

Mini-review:

I have to say this movie deserves all the hype. Its mixture of soapy melodrama, weird humor and psychological drama proves to be a surprisingly effective way to handle such a dark, disturbing topic. It definitely won't suit all tastes, but I found it engaging, haunting and spellbending. Its main strength is probably its cast, with the three leads giving spectacular performances. I must particularly highlight Charles Melton's work, since he pretty much outshines two legends like Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman (but they are fantastic too, as I said). The script is brilliant as well, and I loved the metaphors and symbolisms used to signal the evolution of the characters. On top of that, the movie looks lovely, and Todd Haynes displays his mastery once again. So yeah, May December is a fascinating movie (but make sure to check out trigger warnings, even if they are full of spoilers).
