Paul S Mar 16 The film's strong message was overshadowed by a poor story. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen but I didn't enjoy it. This one is better left unwatched. See more Alex G 08/16/2023 Not a particularly exciting film with some good bits. You follow the main character who opens the film in a sad life being bullied by a bad man, there's a power cut and main character runs downstairs, into the breaker board, then climbs into an oven, which drops her into the sea. This bit was quite cool, because now we're on an island with some sort of quirky 1940esque sirens who are luring men to their deaths in storms or shooting/stabbing them slightly offscreen to presumably save on trouble for the filmmaker. With this it's got quite an exciting and not often done sort of twist but it throws it all away because the film just loves itself too much and assumes it can carry far too much. You've got complicated group dynamics, main character not wanting to murder men, co-protagonist being a bit of a nutter, main character wanting to murder men, female solidarity, female division all loosely tied together in a sort of wandering storyline where tthere's dollops of "does this make sense or do I not understand *the art*" The camera work is pretty good, beautiful, and a lot of the acting from the main characters pretty excellent. Sort of worth a watch if you're doing the ironing and there's not a re-run of Corrie on the tv. See more 07/26/2022 Mayday has a promising and interesting start, only to somehow unravel into an almost musical about a war between boys and girls. Not really sure what deep truth they were trying to communicate, because the film definitely isn't fun. See more 06/07/2022 The dancing with the men and the chics in the water was super stupid. Makde the movie super stupid.. did someone just want to try and make it a partial musical? See more 05/02/2022 Terrible acting. I thought it was going to turn into a porn movie during certain scenes. See more 04/17/2022 you will see this as probably as either man hating feminist's fantasy film or anna dealing what happens to her early in the movie but me i see it as her stuck an island with sirens (Greek mythology ) and see she does not want to be like them at the end . that being said its an interesting film and original and yeah for that and left me a touch confused i hate go look up others what they thought the film represented i can see both sides of that coin anyway in the end i thought it was alright but wont be adding it in my collection anytime soon maybe if was on sale for 5 bucks on vudu not that i hate it but just was very confusing for me . now that i looked up the opinions im like ehh its okay See more Read all reviews
