May December: A film that gave us a morality crisis

Never have we done such a 180 whilst recording an episode. Directed by Todd Haynes, we agreed May December is a gripping and technically brilliant film. By the end of the episode, we question whether we should like it so much. The film is inspired by real scandalous events and based off of real victimized people, does Hollywood really have the right to tell this story? We discuss the DRAMA Todd Haynes brings- the music, those zooms and the sensationalized American-ness of it all. And we get Mais' perspective on preparing to play real life characters. This episode has been a journey, we hope you enjoy ❤️ TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sensitive issues relating to grooming, so if this isn't the right episode for you, we'll see you next week. May December (2023), directed by Todd Haynes, stars Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore and Charles Melton.
