May Reviews:
Weird, Odd, Creepy, Terrific! 
2008-11-23 - This review contains a spoiler alert, so don't read it if you don't want a major part of the movie to be revealed near the end!
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY SEE THIS *ONE OF A KIND* MOVIE
I remember when I first saw this movie. My best friend's girlfriend begged me to see it, knowing that I had a great taste for the bizarre and unusual, and a pretty dark sense of humour. After that night, it became one of my top 10 favourite movies.
I remember feeling empathy for May as it started out with her as a young girl, going to school with an eye patch on, to cover her lazy eye, and becoming an outcast after her schoolmates asked is she was a pirate. To make up for her loneliness, she became best friends with a doll her mother gave her for her Birthday, that she had made when she was a child, herself. Her mother prized this doll and always forced May to keep in a glass case for safety. She could never take it out, she could never touch it, never cuddle it. And that doll was still her best and only friend, when May became of age. Now imagine how you would feel, never having any friends, nor any family that ever really showed you any warmth at all. Only having a doll that you could never touch... Just stare at and talk to. May craved for friendship and any sort of love to fill her otherwise, empty, lonely life, but was too shy and weird (in an almost enduring way - to me at least) to do anything about it... Until she met Adam. In an innocently awkward and clumsy sort of way, she begins to talk to him. Adam (with a mix of curiosity and sort of feeling bad for May) befriends her and soon May believes she's in love. However, being an antisocial for all of her life, has had an impact on her, and she tries to do her best to get Adam to like her back, but inevitably screws up and Adam freaks out. After Adam refuses to have anything to do with her, she starts to try to form a friendship with whoever gives her the time of day. Eventually, due to her disturbed childhood and social awkwardness, and as her mind slowly unravels, May comes to the conclusion that maybe she can take parts she likes from people that reject her friendship, and create the perfect life sized doll that will love her unconditionally.
This movie really has some interesting and accurate portrayals of how life can be for some unfortunate people, and how sometimes society might be totally blind to your mental health, and how every step that happens, can drive a person off the edge and into total insanity. And if it does nothing else, it will DEFINITELY enforce the fact that you should always try to be kind and forgiving to others, who might simply just be lost and not so much different from ourselves at times.
fantastic

MAY IS DISTURBING! BETTER THAN MOST HORROR FILMS THESE DAYS! 
2008-08-26 - I knew nothing of this film before sitting down to watch it. I was pleasantly surprised watching this really weird and disturbing movie. I really don't like giving much away when I review a film as most of you know,but this is something my horror buddies might want to look at! It's very different, but it stayed with me long after watching it. It's frightening to think there are people in the world like this! I caught this on HD cable, so I'm not sure what's on the DVD or it's quality.
''May'' DVD Review
2008-08-02 -
May is 93 Minute Horror/thriller movie, as Wes Craven Quotes it is: 'Startling Compelling & Truly Original' I don't want to Spoil it for anyone, its basically about a Girl MAY (Angela Bettis) who has no friends in her Life, and in the end she becomes Psychotic, there's a few scenes with ''Anna Faris'' other Special features are: 'Cast & Crew, Production commentary' ''International Trailer'' English and Spanish Subtitles. I think that fans of the 2002 ''Carrie'' or fans of good story plots in movies, should definitely check it out.
Dark and Delightful
2008-07-30 - I really like this movie:)
I don't know, maybe it's just me and my sick little mind
but I actually enjoyed it.
I remember seeing it before a while back not remembering much of it.
May is awesome, I really liked her character.
The best part was when she took her mother advice LITERALLY,
I wasn't expecting that. There was one part that sorta confused me.
In the beginning they show her parents, but what ever happened to them?
that's the part that really bugs me, I mean where they still alive or did they die or leave her....
besides that, I can honestly say this movieis a must have
