Todd Haynes directs Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman and Charles Melton in this drama where decades after their scandalous relationship made headlines, a couple starts to unravel when a TV actress arrives to research them for her new film.

Erotic mystery masquerading as melodrama. Consummately acted and sumptuous to look at. There is little resolution here. Unresolved subplots and interactions open to multiple interpretations. The kind of pastel coloured movie where everyone exists in a moral grey area. One of the last of this year’s Oscar contenders I needed to catch up with.
