why couldn’t i just leave it at “wow Charles Melton was really good in may december.” i will never get this hour and a half of my life back
I usually don't leave reviews but this movie left me uncomfortable and highly disturbed throughout the entirety of the film. The way they romanticized a student- teacher relationship and then later furthered a narrative that this RAPIST was a victim of the system is GROSS. Throughout the entire film Mary Kay Letourneau continuously denies that she did anything wrong, when the ENTIRE AUDIENCE can see what she did wrong. She differs responsibility at every waking moment during the prison segments. Also as far as my knowledge goes her son and Villi were the same age so why does her son look 7 and the Villi actor look 21. Really shows that they were trying to make the crime not look…
Trashy, even by my morally-corrupt standards. Like her lawyers trying to use "the bipolar defense" to excuse this chick molesting a kid
why is mary kay a wide eyed doe and villi is a horny aggressive boy/man? the tone is soooooo off.
You know those times when you're hungover and you can't move, but you want to watch a movie, so you turn the TV and see what's on and even though you know it's going to be bad, you just watch it anyway...that's what happened here LOL!
I actually didn't hate it and it was kinda crazy to watch, knowing that they are now married and living happily...still totally gross though haha.
Would say that this was a primer for May/December. But since it was a TV movie, and one I was sort of familiar with due to how scandalous this case truly was I would have sought this out anyway, regardless if an I'm positive much better recent feature inspired by the events hadn't been made.
Love the fact that Rena Owen was cast as the victim's Mum because the actual woman she was playing actually requested her after seeing Once Were Warriors. Brilliant call.
This felt like an appropriate watch after May December. The writers were either trying to make Mary Kay Letourneau sympathetic or show the viewers how her brain worked/how she saw things. Whatever the case, watching a grown woman fall for the “game” of a 13 year old was mind boggling.
