May December - Anmeldelser

Todd Haynes folder historien ud med rige farver og orkestermusik, melodramatisk schwung og dryp af camp.

...et dybt komplekst og vellykket drama om den smerte, en voksens ’kærlige’ hænder kan påføre et barns krop og psyke – og om selvsamme smerte som en livslang følgesvend.

...a frothy psychodrama with a lurid bite.

An intoxicating portrait of an emotional predator.

We push to the front of the crowd to get a better spot at the execution, and afterward, we move on, sated. Until next time. Elizabeth's voracious expression is our own. 

...shocking tabloid affair becomes a thrilling psychological tennis-game.

...the enjoyable tale of a fraught creative collaboration...

Well, the pleasure is real here.

...a film of great tonal delicacy, as Haynes, Burch and their actors delicately modulate the film between high camp and twisted psychological drama.

A subtle yet highly disturbing study of abuse and its aftermath.

Creepy and campy in equal measure, May December will certainly leave your head spinning. 

It’s heavy with suspense – counterintuitively, because we know who did it...
