Summary: HIGHLY ORIGINAL FILM !!!
Review: This is one of the best fLIX i have seen this year so far, and although I expected an entirely different film i am completely satisfatied the same. This movie is far better than any horror movie I have seen this year other than the incredible house of 1000 corpses. Highly recommended! Note: this is not for fans of movies in the same vein as friday the 13th .

Summary: A TRUE HORROR MASTERPIECE
Review: May is the story of a pretty, but deeply disturbed girl who's lived an outcast her whole life. Finally she meets someone, but he's soon to learn just how unlike other girls she is. See, May's ideas of love and friendship don't necessarily involve the whole person. Angela Bettis's performance is absolutely flawless. May is a lunatic you can't help but be sympathetic to, no matter how far she goes to try to be happy.
This is one of the most twisted and brilliant horror pictures to come along in quite a while. Director Lucky McGee knows how to build and keep the intensity. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in seeing a REAL horror film. May has some wicked humor but thankfully spares us the all too common cheese. Be careful if you're squeamish. It could have you poking your eye out so as not to see! Sleepers are the best, aren't they.

Summary: A great female villan "If you can't find a friend, make one"
Review: Only once in a great while does this happen in the horror movie genre. Generally women "villans" do not work. For most of my life none could surpass Carrie. That is until I watched this film. Angela Bettis (May) was brilliant as the lead role in this film. Jeremy Sisto was a wonderful addition to this cast. This movie was witty, charming, endearing and gross. You can't ask for much more than that. If you are aching to see a good woman "villan" you can really root for, I highly reccomend this film. It's one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long, long time.

Summary: One of the creepiest movies I have seen
Review: I loved this movie, I borrowed it from my friend Dan N., but I was meaning to check it out before that, but anyway, I love scary movies, this movie is freaky as heck, the thing thats the creepiest about this is we acually live amongst people like May. The end scene scent shivers down my spine, and there are only about 2 other movies that have ever done that. There were a few dissapointments but not enought to take a star away. The biggest dissapointment was the scene with May and the chick from "Scary Movie", c'mon acually show what's going on, is all I can say, that scene could have been longer and better. Other than that it was an awsome movie.(if anyone agrees with me about the scene I was talking about put it in a review) Well my millions of fans that's all I have, 'till next time. Later.

Summary: Takes a shocking turn
Review: "May" starts off harmless but quickly develops a shocking twist toward the end. The title character is a little deranged, but she's a girl everybody knew at some point...the social outcast. All she wants in life is a living, breathing friend to replace her advice-giving doll, Suzy, who is locked away in a glass box. What happens when society keeps rejecting May is shocking, but somewhat expected. The performace by Angela Bettis is stunning, the music is great, and overall this is a great movie to recommend.

Summary: A must-see movie for every psychologist or mental h. worker
Review: I was blown away! I am in awe of how the director made May's inner world so vivid and saw raw. I was really taken into her psyche for hour and a half: felt her longing, loneliness, self-hate, her feeling weird and not fitting in, the fragility of her character, and the screwd-upness of the world around her (that is our world in general also, I think). Just like May, at times, all I want is to be seen, really seen by somebody, and to be loved. I think I identified with all feelings May felt (except homicidal), the only difference, May experienced them soooo much more intense and she was not able to cope with them. I loved how the intensity of her feelings were communicated through images, symbolism, sounds, colors, etc. Among all the psychological movies I have seen, "May" touched me more than any other movie! For any psychologists out there, hey, this is a MUST see movie if not for personal interests, then definitely for professional ones.

Summary: forget what you have heard
Review: This movie is original, it has a clever metaphors in it, it is scary, it is well acted so why are there such diverse reviews: whilst some reviewers gave may 1 star just as many gave it 5 stars. The haters of this movie say that the ending is pradictable, ok maybe it is, but this movie does not strive to blow you away with its ending it is simply a documentation of a crazy womans life and how she became crazy. If you want a movie with a truly unpradictable ending see lost highway or molholland drive. ALL IN ALL MAY IS A GREAT HORRER WELL WORTH SEEING.

Summary: Cut it out.
Review: I'm constantly searching for little seen, original flicks that have something more to offer than typical Hollywood fare. Being a fan of horror movies (and the fact that it is a necessity to watch one every night in Oct.) I was intrigued by MAY which showed up on a pay-per-view. It started off well enough, establishing wall flower weirdo May as an off-kilter character that isn't yet psychotic enough to not pity. The story eventually slides into the blood and shock zone as May's sanity unravels and her craziness comes to the surface. The end of the film is predictable and silly while trying to be disturbing and cool. Everyone involved is doing a decent job for an independant flick, however the plot in the second half mars what could've been a creepy character study. ONE HOUR PHOTO handled the reclusive, misunderstood creep angle with a tad more originality and compassion for it's central player. MAY on the other hand is irredeemable.

Summary: May: Total deception
Review: I'm a horror film fan, so based in the rating gave to this movie I rented it. Don't waste your time and money, there's no horror, is more a romantic movie with a kind of morbid end than anything else. The plot needs to be remake. However, the acting was very good, but it doesn't change anything.
