Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, Sara Clements & Giovanni Lago. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from director Todd Haynes, "May December," starring Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, and Charles Melton. After premiering at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, the film is now streaming on Netflix this December and has everyone talking about its complex characters and fascinating story of manipulation, duplicity, and seeking the truth in art and in life. Find out what we thought of it as we discuss the story, performances, craftsmanship, writing, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!
