That's right --it's a "two NYFF reviews" day from yours truly! Following up on my take on La Chimera which landed just a bit ago, now comes the time to tackle Todd Haynes -- here is my review of his melodrama comedy May December which stars Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman and Riverdale's own Charles Melton (seen above), which probably wouldn't work with anyone else directing it, given the wild shifts in tone, but which as far as I'm concerned totally does work thanks to Mr. Haynes himself. Thank goodness, since I haven't been a fan of his past couple of movies. The boy's still got it. Here is the May December trailer if you haven't watched it yet -- this hits theaters on November 17th.

This review makes me so excited. Haynes high-wire melodrama/comedy/identity film with Moore AND Portman (who is always at her best when asked to play heightened styles). It like it was made for me.
