Mayday (2021)

The acting's great, as is the cinematography (and CGI). There are a lot of good things about this film, it's certainly not misandrist. You'd have to miss the whole point, or at least 70% of the run time to interpret it that way.

I want to say Soko did particularly well in this but I think I'm just overhyping her in my head after seeing her utterly incredible performance in The Premise. The whole cast did great here. It's nice to see Juliette Lewis again.

But the film IS a slow burn. It takes a long time to feel invested in the plot. Is it worth it? Hard to say. Maybe it would be better as a shorter film, maybe that would ruin the pace of the character development. I have no simple answers. I couldn't do better.

The one thing that did rub me the wrong way was the "abuse". To illustrate how bad it was there was a lot rushed in a very short time which made it a unreal (not that bit, all of it) especially the line about how much of a chore it is to look at Grace van Patten's face. That takes more suspension of disbelief than the dance.

All in all I didn't enjoy it and slightly resented the sunk-cost-fallacy need to finish watching beyond a certain point. I believe it's a very good film. It's not for me, as an audience, but I can see this being incredibly powerful for people who can relate to Ana. My congratulations to everyone involved, you've made something to be proud of that may well help countless people in ways you'll never get to hear about.

Fmovies: I don't usually review movies, i watch a ton of them and have a personal experience. This one however took me by surprise. It had good character building, genuine acting and depth that i have not seen in a very long time. It was refreshing and cultivating. It felt different and mind-boggling.

I wish we could have the same skillful actors in every movie, the culture and what movie brings felt alive once again.

I assume this is some feminist reimagining on the Sirens. With a touch of female coming of age, lesbian fantasy. Mostly will they won't they..and they don't. Part white man bad. Some random dance in a field. War is bad. Some good points. I thought some of the acting and artistry were brilliant. It was tantalising, but failed to linger on the senses.

Mayday fmovies. Great fantasy. Beautiful shot. Slow, but entertaining. Got some gloomy vibes, mystery and a good message.

This is one of those films where a better film is trying to get out.having said that the director could be one to watch out for as the film does have some interesting ideas. Overall though it is disappointing.

I want to say these young actresses have famous family members and that's what got them this opportunity because it sure as skata wasn't talent or appearance. This is some of the worst acting I have seen since Waterworld. I'm starting to lose faith in Hollywood either they were getting very desperate and running out of material or the brain capacity average is that of a boiled peanut. Skip it. Ok bye.
