Following a short stint in theaters, May December is set to premiere on Netflix on December 1st.
The trailer for May December, directed by Todd Haynes and inspired by the real-life story of Mary Kay Letourneau, has finally been released. The movie will debut on Netflix on December 1st, following a limited theatrical release on November 17th. The film explores the rift in the marriage between Gracie Atherton-Yoo (played by Julianne Moore) and her significantly younger husband Joe (played by Charles Melton), when Elizabeth Berry (played by Natalie Portman), an actress researching them for a movie based on their lives, arrives. Netflix has now released the official trailer for the film, following a previous teaser released three weeks ago. Watch it below:
Everything Revealed by the May December Trailer
: As the trailer commences, Elizabeth Berry poses a captivating inquiry, questioning the origins of these intricate personalities – were they inherently born or intricately fabricated? Surprisingly, as the trailer progresses and Elizabeth delves deeper into the intricacies of the couples' lives, her true intentions for investigating the couple gradually dissolve into ambiguity.
The trailer for May December offers a more intimate look into the narrative of the film. While unraveling the intricacies of the central couple, it becomes evident that Portman's character holds significant power in instigating tension within the relationship. Moreover, as the trailer concludes, Elizabeth Berry is portrayed less as a dedicated researcher and more as a potential stalker.
The way in which Joe and Gracie's relationship is tested seems intended to leave audiences uncertain about whom to support. Additionally, the trailer highlights the captivating performances that will enhance the depth of character exploration. Both Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, who are accomplished actresses in the realm of dramatic cinema and have received Oscars for their notable roles (Portman for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and Moore for Still Alice), portray the female leads.
However, Charles Melton's portrayal, completing the trio, is equally significant. Critics have already acclaimed his role as a breakthrough performance, and this new trailer allows Melton more opportunity to showcase his talent. As revealed in the trailer, Melton, a former member of the Riverdale cast, provides a compelling contrast to the two formidable stars at the heart of May December, adding to the movie's captivating and intricate dynamics.
