Todd Haynes’ film started off strong by garnering numerous accolades from critics’ circles and the Golden Globes. By the time the Oscars rolled around, the black comedy had lost steam, picking up only one Oscar nomination for screenplay. Perhaps the uncomfortable subject turned viewers off because it’s not easy to watch. Actress Elizabeth Berry (Natalie Portman) travels to Georgia to research a role for an upcoming movie. Elizabeth is playing Gracie Atherton-Yoo (Julianne Moore), a woman who, at the age of 36, raped 13-year-old Joe Yoo (Charles Melton) and had his baby in prison. Gracis and Joe are married in the present day. Again, it’s a disturbing topic, but Haynes perfectly balances the drama of a predatory relationship with the campiness of tabloid sensationalism. Plus, it will be fun to look back and point to this movie as the one that launched Charles Melton’s career.   Stream May December on Netflix. Voltage Pictures While speaking to Digital Trends about Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Gerard Butler shared that he improvised most of his dialogue in the action thriller Last Seen Alive. That’s no easy task for a 95-minute movie, but not every actor is Butler, a man who could play a convincing action hero with his eyes closed. Will Spann (Butler) and his wife Lisa (Jaimie Alexander) are traveling to Lisa’s parents’ house when they stop at a gas station. While Will pumps gas, Lisa enters the store and never returns. Where did she go? Will assumes Lisa has been taken, so he embarks on a vengeful quest. Last Seen Alive will satisfy any Butler fan looking for a quick, action-packed thriller.
