May Movie Highlights
I went on a big movie binge this month and watched about 38 films, which let me reach 100 total for this year!!! only 100 more to go :3
27 Steps Of May (2018)
A very sad movie about this woman who completely withdrawals from life after a traumatic event. I loved this movie, I think it articulated the emotions very well. It was one of the 3 movies I watched on the 1st of this month that had 'May' in the title, along with May (2002) and May December (2023), but I felt that this was the most notable out of the 3 of them!!
Mysterious Skin (2004)
I didn't know how much I needed this movie until I watched it. Genuinely such a violent film, but so incredibly powerful and innocently articulates the emotions of each boy in a raw way that tears you open. I will always adore this film, it had me thinking about it for weeks afterwards, and I still do sometimes. Easily a favorite for me.
“I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind, rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.”
Michael (2026)
I went and saw this in theaters, overall the music will always hit. I'm happy that they're working on a good accurate biography that paints michael jackson in a better light that he deserves, a lot of the controversies they put him through were purely evil and I hope they're careful in the 2nd movie when they cover that aspect of his life. A lot of people during his time didn't understand him and it made me feel for him so bad, he didn't deserve to be judged and hurt so bad
No Other Choice (2025)
This movie was so beautiful, I love how it wasn't so overdone but still goes crazy. Majority of the time I was just admiring the cinematography, def worth the watch if you're interested
Backrooms (2026)
I loved this movie so much, I felt like it perfectly captured the feeling that the backrooms has given for the many years its been around. In my opinion, I think most of the hate on this film comes from them not entirely explaining what the backrooms is, when we forgot that not even the youtube series is fully finished/explained. I'm happy that they didn't do slop jumpscares and fully wrapped it up and turned it into something which its not. I'd be very intrigued to see where they take it if they did a 2nd movie
