Reviews on movie Mayday (2)

Absolutely luxurious female film. That's what makes it beautiful. Often you can find women’s films made by women directors who completely lost the female consciousness and female perception of the world. This movie is really female. Some people find feminist notes in it. But this story is not about feminism, but about different worlds. In a world of war, everyone is at war with everyone. Adults fight children. The poor fight the rich. The West is at war with the East. The South is at war with the North. Of course, women are at war with men. This is the world where the main character lives.

And then unfolds a superb mystical story about how a teenage girl goes through her female initiation: to become a grown woman and forever leave the war, she first finds herself among the same girls as her teenagers. That's how it should be. In order for a woman to become an adult woman, it is important for her to fight and recruit a female in a purely female team. This way she can grow up and gain female strength.
All teenage girls are at war with everyone. They need this war to grow up. The main thing is not to stay in this war until death. This movie perfectly shows all the nuances and turns of a woman’s growing up from despair and unwillingness to live to the awareness of her essence and role in the world.
The film is made with an understanding of the many processes taking place in the female soul. My admiration for the craftsmanship of Karen Chinorre, who produced, wrote and directed. It's her author's debut. Great job for the whole team.

Karen Chinorre has a surprisingly holistic picture. The authors who created this world clearly know how to fantasize and know how to guide us through their imagination.
Implied, work with such a low rating, debut works should be full of awkward curves, incongruities, pauses and ambiguities. Here we see how the creators throw themselves into the absurd, into the avant-garde, but at the same time they have so firmly ridden the horse of the narrative that there are no sagging and absurdities in the narrative.
The world ' reality' stylishly aggressive, homogeneously unpleasant. World ' fantasy' monolithic beautiful, mysterious and allegorical.
The casting is just on top. Artists of the painting - burn to the full. Beauty and plausibility have reached the point where I no longer want to criticize anything. You believe this aesthetic and want to stand up for it rather than understand what is wrong here.
What is the meaning of this eternal war with young men? Why would they all die in this fantasy world? - I don't know myself, but subconsciously it feels that behind all this allegory there is some deep artistic truth, something strong. And I don't need more to know that the painting worked. Yes, I’ve watched so much low-rating, sci-fi sludge before this movie, and the high-rating one too (I mean the bulky pretentious Dune), that I think this film is just lucky. We need to remember the name of this director, I think in the future he will show us where crayfish winter!
