Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in May December actually is?
Everyone praising the May December performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in May December is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love May December. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in May December?
Director clearly thought May December was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: May December's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, May December would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
