The loss of innocence can generate something even crueler...
"...a truly powerful psychological thriller." Scott Spicciati, Aggresive Voice
"...hypnotic, disturbing, and even painful." Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
"Twisted, bizarre, sad, funny and quirky, ...perversely beautiful..." Eat my Brains
"A witty slasher film that keeps its forked tongue firmly in its gashed cheek..." Stephen Holden, NY Times
"...heart wrenchingly dark and sad..." Jackass Critics
"It’s funny when it needs to be, bizarre when it’s suitable, and horrific at the exact time you’re craving it...May may just be one of the best horror films of the 2000s. Make friends with the quirky loner instantly. Essential!" Oh The Horror
L to R: Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto and Anna Faris at Sundance 2002
"...disturbing and oddly moving." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Easily the year's most memorable 5-star surprise was Lucky McKee's charming yet grim fairy tale..." G. Noel Gross, DVD Talk
"As a stirring drama, a marvelously developed character piece, a sly black comedy, a taut psychological thriller, and a gory, scary, no-holds-barred horror film, "May" is a new cinematic masterwork, a film with the ability to do all five things at once, or apart, with pitch-perfect grace. Don't let this one-of-a-kind experience pass you by." Dustin Putman, The Movie Boy.com
"[Angela Bettis gives] an expertly tragicomic performance." Jesse Hassenger, Filmcritic.com
"...acutely observed...a true delight...McKee is equally at home with his handling of pitch-black humour that sits comfortably besides the moments of horror." Carl T. Ford, Unrated

"Jeremy Sisto has always been one of those actors who tends to fade into the backgrounds of the films he's in (not necessarily in a bad way�he just often gets roles that never take over a film), and this time isn't really all that different. What is different is that in this film, his character is actually supposed to exist on the periphery and Sisto makes the most of each and every scene that lets him come to the forefront. The blooming romance between him and Bettis is touching and feels real. When it flounders, one never gets the impression that Adam is any more happy about the way it turned out than May. The two performers have a great deal of chemistry and it makes the scenes between them play out all the more realistically." Mike Bracken, Toxic Universe
"...more gruesome than gory...laden with subtle and somewhat gentle humour..." Fortean Times
"Angela Bettis [gives a] tour de force performance. She manages to make this psychologically fragile, socially inept and obviously weird character fully rounded and surprisingly sympathetic...this under seen and largely ignored quirky future cult classic is an original and unique experience that will get under your skin and haunt you." John Doe Reviews
"...inventive...a disturbing, wild ride..." FilmRot
