Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance, a married couple buckle under the pressure when a Hollywood actress meets them to do research for a film about their past in May December.

The film is aย darkย comedy-drama directed byย Todd Haynesย from a screenplay byย Samy Burch, based on a story by Burch andย Alex Mechanik. It starsย Natalie Portmanย as an actress who travels to meet and study the life of Gracie, the controversial woman (Julianne Moore) she is set to play in a filmโ€”a woman infamous for the 24-year-long relationship with her husband Joe (Charles Melton), which began when he was 13 years old and she was 36. #natalieportman #juliannemoore #charlesmelton #toddhaynes #maydecember #netflix #reelreviews
