Critic Reviews

The movie subtly darkens its tone until, when the horrifying ending arrives, we can see how we got there. There is a final shot that would get laughs in another kind of film, but May earns the right to it, and it works, and we understand it.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The inventive and unpredictable May is exactly the kind of unexpected delight one hopes for every time the lights go down.Full Review

Mark Olsen
L.A. Weekly

A stylized work of unflinching control and discipline, reflecting an artistic maturity unusual in a first film.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

May represents something rare and unfashionable-–a smart, twisted little slasher comedy that doesn't skimp on the gore.Full Review

Scott Tobias
The Onion A.V. Club

Though ultimately too waterlogged with student-film self-seriousness to revel fully in its low-rent joie de cleaver -- nevertheless taps into a furious atavistic energy that reflects well on the filmmaker and his fully committed cast.Full Review
