Simply A Masterpiece

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

May tells a very messed up story of May,a young lady who has no friends except for a doll,one day,May makes friends with a man she most admires for his hands. After a while,May then makes a friend with her lesbian friend Polly,after the two ignore May for quite some time,May goes on a murdering killing spree to create her very own friend. This movie is very uncomfortable and very weird. The movie plays as a drama and then turns into a gory horror film. There were scenes in this that gave me goosebumps cause else would be better than the weird,skinny shy little Angela Bettis to play a weird,skinny,shy young woman. May is a very unusual disturbing film but still a very good horror film.

This movie was on Xfinity on demand and available on my Kindle. I was aware of it for a long time because the trailer was on my VHS copy of "House of 1000 corpses" which I watch every Halloween.First off, it feels like an indie flick with it's non self-consciousness and quirky (though very effective) musical score. It has a cast of unknowns who, except for Ana Faris, have stayed unknown. But of course that doesn't take away from the quality of the acting and direction which is top-notch for what must have been a low budget.The best thing to say on the story is that it's a modern day take on a Frankenstein tale combined with a young girl version of Taxi Driver. For the first hour it has a languid pace which is the reason for the word tedious in my review title. But it holds your interest and of course there's a payoff at the end.Gore fans might be disappointing because there are very sparing quantities of that, just enough to get the story across. But for fans of intelligent horror that makes you feel something (other than shock or disgust) this one is very worthwhile.

I have seen "May" about five times or so by now, and it is still as good as the first time I saw it. I found it by sheer random luck in the local secondhand DVD store. I bought it without knowing anything about it or the people starring in it.What makes "May" unique is the absurdly entertaining story, but also the entire cast. Especially Angela Bettis who performed the role of May to perfection. She was so well-cast for this role. Anna Farris also really performed quite well, and it was nice to see her out of the usual comedy genre that she is in.The story, shortly summarized, is about a socially inadequate loner named May, who falls in love with a guy she sees on the street, and she tries desperately to get his attention and affection by all means necessary."May" is both a story and character driven movie, and it is the type of story that creeps in under your skin and will stick with you. It has a good combination of drama, character acting, thrills and blood. Yes, there is blood!I can strongly recommend that you sit down to watch "May" if you haven't already seen it. It is one of those movies that is a surprise of a movie.

I'm giving this movie a 10 to bring up the average, as well as to say that it is a "10" for the kind of movie it is. Maybe the critics just don't like Lucky McKee. May is a Horror/Comedy. Angela Bettis and Jeremy Sisto both do a perfect job bringing there characters persona's out in the film. The direction by Lucky McKee is wonderfully refreshing, as is the movie itself. If I was editor and chief of the papers whose critics panned this movie they would all be out of a job! May is a unique kind of movie that brings comedy and horror together, and that is not an easy task. It may not be a movie for everyone, but as a movie critic one must be able to recognize talent. There are many movies with high ratings and many fans that are just not my thing, but they are still good movies. I've seen Angela Bettis in a few movies, and in my opinion she is a very talented actor. When a movie makes me laugh out loud as much as May did, it will have a special place in my library.
