Natalie Portman: The World Would Not Be a 'Kinder Place' if Women Ran Everything

(AFP) A darker side of female sexuality was on display in Cannes in a film portraying a woman who seduced a schoolboy and built a picture-perfect life with him after a tabloid scandal.

Starring Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, “May December” takes the viewer on a rollercoaster of moral ambiguity as it looks at the couple living a life of apparent suburban bliss with their children despite being on the sex offenders register.

Portman plays an actor who spends time with the family as she prepares to play the woman at the heart of the scandal, played by Moore.
Her arrival opens up buried wounds, and Portman’s character makes questionable decisions.
