: May
Strange black comedy about a bizarre afflicted girl named May who’s been damaged by her domineering mother and grows up to be weird and struggles to make friends so she kills them and stitches the body parts together to make a “perfect” doll to be her friend. It’s got some good moments, but it’s a little too realistic in the murders and serious tone to be a comedy and in the end it’s just depressing. My favorite moment was the very cool art movie the girl’s boyfriend directs and shows her: it’s black and white and starts out as a cute couple having a romantic date and then start getting physical, and suddenly the two are biting chunks of flesh out of each other and ripping off limbs — hilarious. (May’s reaction is to take the film literally, as though that’s actually how people make love, and she’s puzzled when her boyfriend rejects her.) Worth seeing if you like strange.
