Watch May December online

May December, the Oscar-nominated movie starring Natalie Portman, is streaming now on Netflix in the US and Canada. It's currently available on Sky in the UK. Traveling abroad? Use a VPN watch May December from anywhere.

Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman shine in this potent, based-on-a-true story drama from director Todd Haynes. The movie centers on an actress welcomed into the home of a couple famous for their controversial relationship, but whose constant presence places the pair under renewed, crippling scrutiny. Nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 96th Academy Awards, we explain below how to watch May December online from anywhere now.

Marking Moore’s fifth collaboration with Haynes after 2017's Wonderstruck, May December finds Moore playing Gracie, a teacher who spent seven years behind bars for grooming 13-year-old student Joe Yo. Portman, meanwhile, is Elizabeth: the indie actress preparing to play Gracie in an upcoming movie and looking to get under the skin of her flawed, complex subject.

Penned by screenwriter Samy Burch and loosely inspired by the 1996 Mary Kay Letourneau scandal, the film has received rave reviews. David Ehrlich of IndieWire described it as "a heartbreakingly sincere piece of high camp that teases real human drama from the stuff of tabloid sensationalism, "while The Telegraph declared that “the Oscar winners are brilliant in Todd Haynes’s disturbing and fascinatingly-layered Hollywood tale about consent, denial and exploitation."

Read on below for our guide, which explains how to watch May December online from anywhere in the world now.

Luckily, the best VPN – otherwise known as a virtual private network – provides a simple solution. It alters your IP address to make it appear like you’re somewhere else.
