May December
Wow, what an absurdly intriguing watch.
Going in, I did not expect a tense mystery/thriller piano score but I loved it. And at first I thought it didn’t really fit with the movie but after it ended, fuck yea it fits.
This turned into a horror real quick near the end, all because of Charles Fucking Melton (and an amazing script). His performance from the body language, the mannerisms, the delivery is phenomenal. Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore are also fantastic. Portland perfectly impersonates Moore at times and goddamn that Portman letter monologue…. All 3 deserve recognition.
Just read Ben’s review cuz he said it first; May December is a fantastic screenplay and one of the best films of the year.
(Read Ben’s review because he reviewed it pretty well and I would just be copying him)
