May
Directed by Lucky McKeeA socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and obsession with perfection descends into depravity after developing a crush on a boy with perfect hands.
- James SaenzOctober 15, 2025“you can’t see me.” this feels like the complete inverse of jeunet’s amélie. both films follow a young woman with crippling loneliness as she desperately strives to reach out and make a genuine connection. amélie fills me with so much hope and warmth, and this left me so heartbroken; the final ten minutes of the film really feel like a macabre breaking point for both may and the audience emotionally and psychologically. i love how it takes inspiration from the picture of dorian gray and frankenstein to stitch together a tale of isolation that carries itself with a strong audiovisual style, from the soundtrack choices to the idiosyncrasies in may’s wardrobe and entire persona. people say they like weird until a real freak comes along and then they run off scared.
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025This was a total blast. Angela Bettis kills as the titular May, a veterinary technician that struggles with her own socially awkwardness. Despite her own loneliness and isolation, May discovers that she has a sure hand at bringing other people together. This is such a fun flick. In addition to Bettis, Anna Faris is as delightful as ever. Really loved her in this. Worth checking out this hidden gem from. TW: For those that don’t like pet violence, a cat meets an untimely demise in this.
