May December premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2023, and now we have a teaser trailer ahead of its scheduled select US theatre release on November 17th, before streaming on Netflix on December 1st, 2023.
Sky Cinema hold the UK distribution rights.
The movie is lead by Star Wars prequels alumni, Natalie Portman, and also stars Julianne Moore.
In May December, popular television actor Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) heads to Savannah, Georgia, to research a part in a new film that follows a scandalous tabloid romance. That love affair — between Gracie (Julianne Moore) and Joe (Charles Melton) — was once a fixture of the gossip pages. After all, Joe is significantly younger than Gracie, who served time in prison when they were caught together. When she was released, the pair were married, and they now have two children together who are about to graduate from high school. At first glance, their untraditional marriage looks more predictable than Elizabeth expected. But soon, her observation brings long-dormant feelings to the surface, and the decades-old scandal reveals deeper and deeper layers.
From first-time screenwriter Samy Burch, May December is a deliciously witty film about performance and exploitation that juggles surreal melodrama with humane perception.
May December will also open the New York Film Festival on September 29th.
