Mayday Reviews
Despite a clunky final act that over-explains in a way that ultimately just confuses its theme of female empowerment and revenge, Mayday really makes an impression.
What helps make Mayday a riveting experience rather than an obnoxious experimental exercise is the cast and crew Cinorre puts together.
The movie offers two prominent points of view, and some clever musings about being a woman in today’s world, that make it a fun and inspiring entry in the feminist catalog.
As far as badass women crushing the patriarchy films go, "Mayday" is a fun, fantasy ride.
Mayday is a unique and beautiful story that, despite the tangled plot, might inspire whoever allows themself to be swept up alongside Ana.
Although the film lacks the depth of theme and character it needs to fully and symbolically chart the 21st-century corrective course of gender equality, Cinorre’s passion shows through. She has an eye for young talent; its four principals are fiery.
The movie awkwardly mixes heavy-handed preachiness about misogyny with incoherent storytelling wrapped in a war movie ... Simply put: Mayday is the type of movie that gives feminism a bad name.
The premise is half-baked and not ready to be taken out of the oven.
The film is surreal at times, when switching from reality to fantasy and with a somewhat obvious overarching 'lesson' to be learnt, the story does lose its focus. However, Mayday does have some beautiful imagery, a cinematic setting and a fine cast.
Some men may hate this artistic, visionary, and brilliantly original feminine fantasy -- so be sure to read critical reviews with that in mind.
Filmmaker Karen Cinorre's initially provocative vision of misandrist vengeance at least makes Mayday worth a look.
With a strong concept at its core, Mayday lacks any real development and only scratches the surface of something that could have been so much bigger and better.
Still, sticky as some possible readings of Mayday can be, it's perhaps a mistake to ascribe a concrete meaning to what is essentially meant to mimic a dream.
It's just a shame the story doesn't have enough going for it to match up to its concept.
This is an interesting film, but I don't think it really succeeds. It's just so weird.
It's an interesting cast and it's a beautiful film. Kind of falls apart by the end, but I liked it for a while.
The subtle unreality [Writer-Director Karen Cinorre] imbues in each environment has a bewitching effect. Unfortunately, this also robs Mayday of a sense of stakes.
Mayday is a pastiche of ideas, visuals, and sounds that are arranged so oddly, they never add up to anything of note.
Style surpasses substance in this muddled mix of science-fiction thriller and feminist revenge fantasy, which lacks the narrative audacity to match its provocative concept.
[Karen] Cinorre's unforgettable fable expresses millennia of female rage.
