Last night I had the pleasure of stumbling upon a film which has somehow eluded me for years. That film is a great one that deserves much more praise than it receives.
That film is May. Oh yes, if you haven't seen it, I know what you're thinking, "Isn't that the movie about the vet and the doll?" Well, yes, it is, but there are many reasons why this movie is one that is very worthy of your time. Some of these reasons include but are not limited to: Angela Bettis' at times wonderfully quirky, at times horrifyingly lonely portrayal of May, a girl who just wants a friend, Lucky Mckee's wonderful way of presenting how madness can slowly envelope of a person, and the great, moody soundtrack that, in a way, punctuates the film's scenes of love, sadness, and maddening rage.
However, what really makes this movie stand out is its very clever structure. The story in itself is so interesting and moving, that I, for one, completely forgot about it being a horror film until the last fifteen hit me like a ton of bricks. Also, if you have OnDemand, you can check out may for free on FearNet So, there you go. I hope this is an honorable inaugural blog post. lease tell me what you think. Rock on, friends!
I still need to see this film. It is on my list.
