This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a right wing gun owning conservative cis man I must say... I liked this movie. I don't see why people are connecting feminism to this film. People have completely missed the point if they think it's about man hating and that is an incredibly shallow interpretation of the movie and which itself is almost the complete opposite. Spoilers... It's about a woman dealing with abuse (probably a rape) and escaping into her mind where she meets different characters representing parts of herself and this is how she is coping with what happened. One character (Marsha) is technically man hater and attempts to make our main (Ana) the same as her and almost succeeds. It's important to see though that Marsha isn't a person, she's an emotion, Ana's hate. Ana's is trying to figure out how to direct the pain from her experience. She has a hate associated to what happened but she is also conflicted as well, and Marsha almost convinces her to be swallowed by the hatred but Ana realizes she can move past it. This is probably a better message that is being overlooked. "In the dark I can still see the stars." Not all men are bad... or in a whole, not all people are bad. She has a boyfriend that is caring and loving towards her and she almost loses him to the blind hate, but she makes her way back to see that he is not bad. She also grows and is stronger and more confident personally to finish out the film.

The fact the people are misinterpreting this film is the exact problem which society now and why probably people won't grow like Ana. Subgroups of humanity are not all fully bad.… Expand

From some reviews I read, I mentally got the idea that Mayday was a revenge film that was in the style of films like Promising Young Woman and Assassination Nation, because they compared it to those films.

That was not the case at all. AtFrom some reviews I read, I mentally got the idea that Mayday was a revenge film that was in the style of films like Promising Young Woman and Assassination Nation, because they compared it to those films.

That was not the case at all. At least I didn't see it. Not even on the subject that has to do with fighting the patriarchy.
In fact, I think Mayday is a fantasy that fails to evoke a genuine feeling, nor to provoke enough tension and suspense to keep the plot more attractive.

It didn't seem overtly bad to me, but it didn't impress me at all.… Expand

When Sundance gives the worst of itself with presumptuous arthouse movies directed by a debutant who on the credits thanks the parents of the mumblecore, the Baumbach-Gerwig couple. Ana suffers sexual abuse from her superior, slips into an oven and then commits suicide or dreams. Be that as it may, she emerges into a parallel reality where girls like her take revenge by killing any male. Finally she decides to reject the war between the sexes, hopes for a second chance and ends up to the starting point reconciled. Not at all irresistible.… Expand
