“Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.”

The more I think about it, the more I love this film. It was a huge honor to sit down with Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Charles Melton, and Todd Haynes to discuss the movie.
