May December Interview: Julianne Moore & Natalie Portman On Portraying The Acting Process Onscreen

Todd Haynes’ latest movie May December, which arrives on Netflix on December 1, is loosely based on Mary Kay Letourneau’s life story and focuses on what happens when an outsider questions the established perception of events. Gracie Atherton-Yoo (Julianne Moore) and her husband Joe (Charles Melton) met when the former was in her 30s and the latter was a teenager, causing a scandal that led to Gracie giving birth to their first child in jail. Twenty years later, actress Elizabeth Berry (Natalie Portman) visits their home to research her upcoming movie.
