“You’ve made a tremendous dream of mine come true.”
“He keeps the touch light — the famous Lubitsch Touch. It's light, but psychologically potent.”
“My film’s executive produced by Taika Waititi (Reservation Dogs, Boy) and he told me to, just throw away your idea of who these characters are. Letting go and letting these kids be.”
“It is the sum total of like a billion other influences.”
“Sembène wrote stories that were about dignity and the individuality of African people.”
“In this film, we’re not seeking agreement… we’re seeking engagement – allow yourself to open up and encounter other ideas. That’s the goal.”

"camp" for an entire year. this girl takes the CAKE
Don’t fret, for this is not a spoiler: five seconds into Todd Haynes’ May December, a needle drop of lush strings pulled from a midcentury Michel Legrand score, accompanied by condensed bold sans serif title cards dropping in, confirmed to me that Todd Haynes is about to deliver another masterpiece. Melodrama Haynes is back. After an unexpected career pivot towards a *straight* environmental/courtroom drama Dark Waters in 2019, Todd Haynes returns to his favorite topic: women. And what more glamorous…
#MayDecember a melodramatic campy satire on tabloid stories, character studies, crime docs, & specifically Method Acting. Todd Haynes really delivers with something so unexpected.
Portman & Moore are just Impeccable but Charles Melton gives the sincere standout performance
LOVED THIS. Starts as a high camp melodrama and unfurls into something sincere, existential, and kinda devastating.
Charles Melton is as good as everyone’s saying. Natalie Portman - phenomenal, I think this might be my favourite performance from her.
Kinda reminded me of Almodóvar?
The 48th annual Toronto International Film Festival took place September 7–17, 2023. The Boy and the Heron was the opening night film and Sly was the closing night film. American Fiction won the People’s Choice Award.
