I hate when people that doesn't have to do with the conversation tell me what I can or what I can't say.
I asked that question to the people that are willing to tell me "Yes" or "No" if I should give the movie a chance. I didn't ask what questions YOU hate.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It had some gore but it wasn't outrageous. I liked the character and the story wasn't groundbreaking, but it held my attention. My only complaint is the ending wasn't as good as the rest of the movie. I'm not saying the ending was awful, I just expected more. I think it's worth a watch.

waa waa waaaaaaaaaaa

Yeah must agree. I thought it was a really good film but the ending was a bit "errr?".

If you enjoyed Mary though, definitely check out Dead Hooker in a Trunk, their debut film.

It was alright ...that's all i can really say about it. I guess i was expecting it to be more shocking than it actually was. It wasn't terrible (it did keep my attention, most of the time) but i wouldn't watch it again.

Will do. I appreciate the suggestion.

I blame it on marketing and hype, nonsense like "This is the scariest (/most shocking/most disturbing/most horrifying blah blah blah) film you will see this year!"

I just had a quick look at an AM poster and it has comments like "The Most Original Film of the Year" and "Incredibly Impressive" and "Absolutely Superb". Sometimes it's a real effort to actually watch a film with open eyes and not start out with a whole load of expectations based on marketing nonsense.

yeah it not bad, I do think there is a lot better horror/thriller movies out there though.

I didn't love it but, I didn't hate it either. The thing is it seemed like more of a thriller than a horror movie. There were parts that could be considered but, as a whole it was really slow paced and more of a odd taboo type of premise and it didn't even go deep into this world that Mary found herself so interested in.

Basically I wanted it to be weirder and it turned out to be another typical movie. On the contrary I actually did find the ending fitting. It really had nowhere else to go.

I have to say, I really enjoyed it, but I'm very biased about my Canadian horror filmmakers.

I can tell they took a lot of inspiration from Ginger Snaps. It was bloody, and sexy. Seeing as Ginger Snaps was a coming of age movie for me when I hit puberty, American Mary is the horror movie that echoes my feeling of being a 20-something, paying off debt and making the choices I have to make in order to be stable.

I guess spoilers here:

I did think it had some good feminist views, primarily, a womans right to bodily autonomy. The woman who had her nipples removed to stop looking like a sex object and the consequences of the choice she made was a high point for me. That screamed feminism, from not just a white cis girl pov. It's very much like a trans-person wanting to be in the body that's right for them, and the attacks they suffer from loved ones and strangers for making that choice. Even the ending, it was like seeing how abortion providers are mistreated and attacked for providing services to women.

But overall, it could have been better. There were a lot of plot holes, and it was a lot more style than substance. I still very much enjoyed the movie though, and can't wait to see more from Jenn and Sylv.
