Rave Reviews
May December, the latest film from director Todd Haynes, is now streaming on Netflix.
Haynes — who received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Stony Brook in 2022 and is a frequent lecturer in SBU’s MFA in Film program — is being praised for the introspective romantic drama featuring Natalie Portman and his frequent muse, Julianne Moore. The film received a 6-minute standing ovation when it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May and it has continued to receive accolades as it arrived in theaters and began streaming at the end of 2023.
In the video linked here, Haynes provides a behind the scenes peak at the process of working on the film:
