Review of May (2008) by Laurence C — 09 Nov 2008
Weird, disturbing, macabre, emotional, feminist, sexy, embarassing, depressing, suspenseful... it's many things at once. But above all, May is a profoundly personal motion picture thanks to McKee's sure-handed direction and Angela Bettis' exceptional performance.
Obviously, it's not for everyone. The pace is slow, and the title character's downwards spiral may not impress everyone. Yet, I found myself seriously stricken by the way things are handled throughout-- driven with sensibility, a kick for sick laughs and an excellent stage direction, May is a film I hope will not be forgotten.
