May December - Reviews

Todd Haynes' latest is wickedly funny yet truly unsettling.

Creepy and campy in equal measure, May December will certainly leave your head spinning. 

A subtle yet highly disturbing study of abuse and its aftermath.

It’s heavy with suspense – counterintuitively, because we know who did it...

A subtle yet highly disturbing study of abuse and its aftermath.

...a frothy psychodrama with a lurid bite.

An intoxicating portrait of an emotional predator.

...examines real-world events through the lens of mass media with a wry humor that masks profoundly complex and painful undercurrents of emotion.

...a film of great tonal delicacy, as Haynes, Burch and their actors delicately modulate the film between high camp and twisted psychological drama.

...shocking tabloid affair becomes a thrilling psychological tennis-game.

We push to the front of the crowd to get a better spot at the execution, and afterward, we move on, sated. Until next time. Elizabeth's voracious expression is our own. 

...the enjoyable tale of a fraught creative collaboration...

Well, the pleasure is real here.
