You want infatuation, the twisted kind brought upon by someone longing for something true, but only to be strung along and heartbroken. Lucky McKee's "MAY" is an indie film that draws you in; slowly forming its basis around vivid characters, ongoing interactions, developing pathos, and relationships to only turn it upside down. From quirky one minute, to startling the next, but always underlining its twitchy psychological makeup is a certain calamity that no one can escape. What it really does thrive on though, is the edgy dynamics of Angela Bettis' affectingly misunderstood, yet adorably offbeat lead performance brought upon by her character's awkward naivety, stemming from her constant loneliness that can be traced back to when she was a child. Her best friend is a doll in a glass case that was given to her by her mother as a child, and it seems to somehow communicate, getting into her unstable head. Bettis' portrayal is great, not to take anything away from a mild-mannered Jeremy Sisto and seductive Anna Faris who were equally so, in their characters' careless selfishness of their treatment of May. However it's definitely all about Bettis and her character's slow, crippling descent in finding that someone, who's 100% perfect. How she gets there, can be darkly humorous, but also insanely morbid, as McKee gets it spot on blending these two elements together.
I bemoan horribly low-budget movies, but this production is proof positive that money does not make the movie. I am still so disturbed by this effort that I am finding it hard to find the words...
This movie was absolute brilliance. It was creatively written, realistically portrayed, inspirationally directed, and disturbingly sad and dark at the same time.
Angela Bettis is astounding as May. May was born with a lazy eye which caused her have to wear an eye patch. Her mother, a neurotically judgmental woman, raised May to believe that her only choice for friendship was to either hide her differences, or withdraw into her own fantasy.
But there are more differences within May than even her mother could see, and after May realizes that people are not perfect, she goes to any and all lengths to make herself seen.
This is one of the darkest, saddest, most disturbing movies I have EVER seen. Bittersweet and truly mad.
It rates a full 10/10 on the "B" scale.
That's an 8.9/10 from...

I remember hearing the buzz on this movie awhile back but never rented it. We have a bad snow storm headed our way so I figured I'd rent a few movies and stay indoors. Rented this on a whim and I was really amazed! You pretty much have a good idea where the movie is going, but there are a lot of truly strange and touching moments along the way.
Angela Bettis is such a fantastic actress! Her jittery mannerisms are near perfect. And towards the end she becomes more self-assured and confident when she starts down her dark path. It almost makes me want to rent the TV version of Carrie that she started in .... well, almost.
The film has a lot of heart, it's surprisingly emotional.

'May' is a tantalizing horror, stroke chiller, that is really different and unusual. Not to give too much away, as it's really worth seeking out! Such a kool movie and the main actress really suits the role, as one demented psychopath. The strength of the film lies within both the credible performances and a rather interesting plot.
As American horror movies become increasingly derivative and lame it's a real surprise to see something this fresh and original. I wouldn't have even looked at this one twice if I hadn't had it recommended to me by a few people who know their stuff. I'm so glad I listened to their advice and gave it a shot, otherwise I would have missed out on seeing this gem! 'May' is a quirky black comedy with horror elements (nods to Frankenstein and 'Pieces', Argento namedrops). Angela Bettis is perfectly cast as the goofy Goth outsider May who secretly yearns for hunky horror buff Adam (Jeremy Sisto). He says "I like weird. I like weird a lot", but he doesn't know what he's in for! Anna Faris ('Scary Movie', 'Lost In Translation') plays May's lesbian co-worker, and James Duval ('The Doom Generation', 'Donnie Darko') plays a vapid punk. I really enjoyed this movie, especially Angela Bettis' performance, and I will look out for her work in the future, as well as writer/director Lucky McKee's. If 'May' is any indication of McKee's talent then he is someone to keep an eye on.

- TriviaThere are several references to famed Italian horror and giallo director Dario Argento: Adam goes to see a showing of Trauma (93), there is an image from Opera (87) hanging on the wall in Adam's room, as well as a portrait of Argento hanging on the same wall.
- ErroresYoung May's bad eye seems to be on the left. Adult May's bad eye is on the right. May has amblyopia or "lazy eye." Although it appears that her "bad" eye changes from the left one as a child to the right one as an adult, amblyopia is treated by putting a patch over the good eye. Because her left eye has the patch over it when she is a child, May's good eye is always on the left.
- Créditos curiososNo animals were harmed in the making of this film. All scenes involving injured, maimed, bloodied or deceased animals were accomplished through the magic of taxidermy and/or prosthetic appliances.
