Excision
Why this pick
Like May, this is an intimate, painfully awkward character study that turns feminine isolation and obsessive fantasy into escalating body horror with a mordantly empathetic edge.

The Eyes of My Mother
Why this pick
Its stark, controlled visual style and lonely young woman at the center echo May’s mix of damaged yearning, unsettling tenderness, and transgressive violence.
03
The Loved Ones
Why this pick
A high-school outsider’s romantic fixation becomes gruesome and darkly funny, sharing May’s uncomfortable blend of neediness, cruelty, and off-kilter tonal shifts.
04
In My Skin
Why this pick
This unnervingly close psychological horror follows a woman’s alienation through bodily compulsion, matching May’s raw discomfort and unflinching interest in fractured self-image.
05
The Piano Teacher
Why this pick
For May’s severe loneliness and destructive longing, this offers another rigorously observed portrait of repression, sexual obsession, and a protagonist who resists easy judgment.
