VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
lorcan-61881 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.
Shelly Rain This is one of the weirdest film I have ever watched in my life, she is as crazy as Norman Bates. I only decided to watch it because Anna Faris was in it, this was mad, I really don't know what else to say about this film except that it was weird. Clearly May had some psychological issues and needed help. I really don't know what I just watched, this wasn't even scary to me, only awkward, weird and disgusting. How people think of these things to turn into a movie I don't know.
Morgan Tom it's a good psychological horror. the pacing is a little slow, but if you're patient it's worth it. a lot of the characters who aren't the main are still pretty fleshed out, which is cool. most of the actors are good, the ending is cool and a little confusing, it's a bit gory but not too much. may is a very interesting character, and her descent into madness is pretty creepy and tense to watch. there are a few events that are genuinely disturbing. most of the movie is about building it up for the ending events, though, so don't expect the action to start for a while. that fact might make it a bit difficult to watch for the average viewer or those with a poor attention span, although i have adhd and was still engaged in the plot the entire time, because it is a really interesting plot, and the characters are very intriguing. it's a shame that the movie didn't get very much attention at the time of its release. wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 16
BA_Harrison Mentally fragile social misfit May's best friend is a doll, but she is eager to share her life with someone real. Someone perfect."If you can't find a friend, make one"—so says Mrs. Canady (Merle Kennedy) to her lazy-eyed daughter May (Angela Bettis) at the beginning of this totally twisted tale; keep this in mind and it won't be too difficult to work out where the movie is heading given May's increasing mental instability and her skill with a needle and thread.But even though it's fairly easy to figure out the ending, this weird and wonderful story of obsession, loneliness and psychosis still proves utterly engrossing, thanks to assured and stylish direction by Lucky McKee, and an excellent central performance from Bettis, who manages to make her character strangely sympathetic yet completely unnerving.May also benefits from fine support from Jeremy Sisto as mechanic Adam, who, in May's opinion, possesses perfect hands, and Anna Faris as lovable lesbian Polly, who literally puts her neck on the line by seducing her loopy co-worker. Both play a part (or two) in making May's dreams come true in the wonderfully macabre final act that wouldn't be out of place in an old E.C. comic book.
