About the film
May December is a 2023 American psychological black comedy drama film directed by Todd Haynes from a screenplay by Samy Burch, based on a story by Burch and Alex Mechanik. It stars Natalie Portman as an actress who travels to meet and study the life of Gracie (Julianne Moore), a sex offender she is set to play in a film. Gracie has been in a 24-year relationship with her husband Joe (Charles Melton), which began when he was 13 years old and she was 36. While not a direct adaptation, the film mirrors the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal. The film was announced in June 2021, with Portman and Moore joining the cast. Filmed in 23 days in mid-2022 in Savannah, Georgia, it premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2023, where Netflix acquired the North American distribution rights.
