Mayday

... Doesn't mean it's bad. It just means you don't understand it.

That's why film is considered art. It's unfortunate that so many feel compelled to share their uninformed opinions. But that's what we do these days.

Ignore the reviews and try it.

Glad I didn't.

This is NOT a 'spoon feed me' movie.

It's not literal.

There are lots of clues* with which you can run in a lot of different directions. When I realised it wasn't SxFx & stopped trying to dissect what I was seeing, it immediately became better.

A lot of really negative reviewers here, but possibly this style just isn't for them... and folks who stopped watching missed the Love is Blue dance sequence, which I found quirky, funny, & totally appropriate to the rest of the film.

If you're at all intrigued, let it wash over you & think about it afterwards 🙂

Although the first half hour is attractive in the development of the mystery and confusion it causes in the viewer, from the moment that the director has no intention of giving explanations, you must assume this world of female soldiers in constant warfare. As Alice falls into the rabbit hole, Ana is introduced into this world through an oven and then we witness a simplistic and childish game of misandry.

All feminist cast in a WW2 scenario where the all female army go around killing just men? Just when you thought Hollywood couldn't manage to make movies any more political then they already are...they somehow manage to do it! This is not a good film. It's not because of the lesbian love sparks, nor is it the rough and tumble macho females acting strong. No it's pretty much the terrible writing in this film. I can just see how Hollywood execs approved this film project featuring brave independent women hunting men down in a WW2 scenario film penned as a groundbreaking feminist storytelling the likes of which the silver screen has never seen before!

This dud of a film will be forgotten fast and dropped immediately into the bargain bin at Walmart the day it's released on DVD. Don't even bother wasting any time on this dumpster fire. 3/10.

I'm an old WMA philistine, a phd emeritus for God's sake! Mayday was so much more interesting than than the crap of almost all-American movies I gotta recommend it.
