May In The Summer
Description
May was a writer at the height of inspiration. She was getting married so she had to put aside everything to return home. Landscape was old but people were not old, she felt strange between thoughts and actions of people, lost even in her own family.

[May In The Summer] unfortunately lacks the emotional depth for a satisfying resolution.

Dabis covers a lot of ground as a storyteller while delivering a smart, focused performance.
August 29, 2014
Refreshingly normal middle-class family in modern Amman and diversity of people give the familial dynamics added interest for a rare and lovely, if mild, view from Jordan.
August 28, 2014
There's goodwill to go around in Dabis' modestly engaging yarn, from its appealing performances to the times it zeroes in on the ways culture, tradition and individuality cause headaches and heartaches as much as comfort.
September 18, 2014
A film that pulls us in with a sweet and powerful story where major tent poles of religion and politics are presented in a strong but subtle way.
January 09, 2017
While May in the Summer paints a compelling family portrait, May remains a largely opaque character, so the film doesn't totally deliver as a tale of her self-discovery.
April 16, 2015
Dabis's character comes off as a self-serving fantasy.
September 04, 2014
Notable chiefly for its knowing, comfortable depictions of female relationships, sibling relationships, familial relationships. Also its determination to rise above some of its more sitcommy plot points.

The film itself is very regular, but when the family drama kicks in everything gets more interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

Ultimately you're left with a drama so contained, it can be neatly wrapped up in single sentences of passed-on wisdom.

If you're looking for a deep reflection on Jordan and the Middle East, this isn't the film for you. [Full review in Spanish]

You believe in these people, you care about them and their struggles. And in the end, you wish them all the best.
