“He’s [Haynes] someone who discusses context and identity constantly. Like, ‘Who are we? Are we the ones we present? How do we project it, and in which world are we doing so?’ I completely trust his intellect and his particular subject interests. His narrative approach is always humane, interesting, provocative, and compelling. It’s a joy to be part of that exploration.”

The Intricacies of “May December” – Unraveled
In Netflix’s May December, director Todd Haynes and Julianne Moore come together once again to tell the story of Gracie, portrayed by Moore. Gracie’s life is closely observed by actress Elizabeth, played by Natalie Portman, for an on-screen portrayal. Haynes and Moore, following their first successful team-up in Safe in 1995, find enough adventures and inspiration in their collaborations to consider each other “a miracle.”
“Her audition blew me away, and I felt like I found my creative match for my script. We were both intrigued by the unfamiliar and wanted to explore it. It’s highly uncommon, especially since we’re often interested in topics that the commercial film industry avoids.”
– Todd Haynes
As of now, May December boasts a sterling 93% on the Tomatometer and a noteworthy audience score of 94% from Rotten Tomatoes. Dive into the complexities and intricacies of Moore and Haynes’ latest venture by checking out MovieWeb’s May December review.
