Metacritic

80

With a level of dark humor akin to the screenplays of Todd Solondz, and a visual style reminiscent of Dario Argento, May is one of the funniest, most disturbing, yet strangely touching movies of the year

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.

Writer-director McKee#146;s arch comic dialogue (i.e., We#146;ll hang out and eat some melons or something) is out of synch with the creepy horror he wields.
