Murder May I

About This Movie

Murder May I takes a rather unique approach to the comedy-drama blend. You have this heavy premise— a mother trying to reconnect with her daughter following a tragic accident— but it leans into dark humor in a way that feels refreshing. The pacing can be a bit uneven, especially in the second act, but it really captures that awkwardness of life’s complexities. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, who manages to balance heartache with humor quite deftly. There's a rawness in the practical effects that grounds the film, giving it a more visceral feel. It’s not your typical family reconciliation story, and that’s what makes it stand out in 2024’s lineup.
