the film's internal logic doesn't quite make sense. With no tension, no suspense and no dramatic engine behind this plunge through the looking glass, Cinorre's film feels less like a narrative than an incredibly polished advertising campaign
for viewers happy to go with the flow and drink in the fetching cast ...and, above all, the entrancing blend of sound and music that makes the whole package feel like an extended video for some avant-garde beat combo, this will be fun enough
an atmospheric if often airless feature debut of the writer-director Karen Cinorre; There's great potential in plumbing the tale of the Sirens for motivations masked by centuries of inattention; But its tantalizing visuals far outpace its sparse writing
an artistic, visionary, and brilliantly original feminine fantasy; The subject matter is mature, "Mayday" isn't going to be for everyone, but for those who get it, it's a revelation
