May Day follows 16-year-old Gemma on a birthday that she spends with herself. After allowing herself to feel, she leaves her room to enter a house that she is not familiar with. Following the sound of chatter through the house, she finds herself in a celebration of a 26th birthday: her own 26th birthday. By observing herself in the future, she then confronts who she is and what she becomes. The short answer, loved. Returning to her 16th birthday, Gemma allows herself to feel, to feel happy.
Directed by Kim Reese, May Day leans on a strong ensemble — Amelia Mahrie, Jack Spaulding, Emerson Neczek — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
