In this Netflix May December video essay and May December analysis, I take a deep dive into the new May December movie, starring Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, and Charles Melton. Directed by Todd Haynes, the film is a perfect blend of comedy, drama, and psychological thriller, exploring themes of humanity, romance, and trauma. I believe this film is excellent in capturing the major themes within the case of Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau through great writing, acting, directing and filmmaking.

Furthermore, in this May December explained video (spoiler-free) and Lucas Blue May December review, I'll delve into the film's symbolism and hidden meanings, uncovering the May December easter eggs, examining how it explores the age old debate of nature vs. nurture, and the criminal vs. the victim of mental illness.

This May December review breaks down why May December is perfect, what May December means for the future of thriller, romance, and drama movies, why May December works, and what makes May December so shocking. This is why I love May December. Hope you enjoy!
