May December

"An amusing and elegant drama, Highsmithian in its intimacy and malice..."

"A deliciously dark-edged melodrama..."

"Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore are tremendous..."

"A terrific pairing of two performers on great form..."

"Masterful..."

"An intensely compelling film..."

"Too detached for its own good."

"May December could have more fire; it could be even more twisted. But it’s seductive enough to keep us following along..."

"Haynes plays us like an accordion, stretching us out in myriad ways to hit the right notes."

"A teasing, ticklish, fascinatingly layered study of our defined identities and the isolation that comes with them."

"A curious tonal mix of melodrama and comedy..."

"The lightness of touch makes it entertaining and uncomfortable."

"Shaped a little like a “what’s behind the white picket fence?” satire of the bourgeois life, but it is stranger than that suggests."

"By far Haynes’ funniest film to date, with shades of Almodóvar in its dramatic zooms and heightened domestic tension."

"Portman and Moore have crackling chemistry even if Haynes isn't at his best."

"A delicious melodrama..."

"Moore and Portman’s unsettling duet May December is a rewarding watch..."

"Haynes, Burch and their actors delicately modulate the film between high camp and twisted psychological drama."
