Synopsis: Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.
2023 was really the year of the terrible parent when it comes to movie. In May December, Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman have a “terrible off” to see which one plays the worst person. Charles Melton’s character unfortunately is the one taking the brunt of just how terrible those other characters are. This is a very solid film that’s bound to make your skin crawl because of just how realistic it is. The gaslighting and victimization that Julianne Moore’s character Gracie does in this film is top notch. You’re definitely going to need to take a shower after this one.
