| User ReviewPaul CANYONE WORKING IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD WILL LOVE THIS FILM. Main character: Love-Struck; Obsessive-Compulsive; Schizophrenic, Rapist, with Asperger's Syndrome, and a hint of Necrophelia!! How can you go wrong with this? Believe it or not............This film was very well done. The character interaction was genuine. This movie is well worth watching multiple times. |

| User ReviewLesley EGreat movie, really weird, especially because "roman" resembles my friend brandon, eerily. |
| User ReviewBrenton SWhat can I say about Lucky Mckee? He has a fantastic, grotesque imagination. Angela Bettis does a hell of a job behind the camera (movie is very low budget, and it shows... but in a good way) Start with May and then if you like that flick then check out Roman. It is like May, but much darker and less funny. |
| User ReviewTristan PIt's tempting to describe ROMAN as MAY with the director and star's roles reversed, but I think that would be selling ROMAN short. Angle Bettis's direction is creative without being needlessly flashy or pretentious, and Lucky McKee's acting is very good, he's vulnerable without being whiny. In other words, ROMAN is a lot more than just a film starring a director and directed by an actor. Kristen Bell and Nectar Rose are both great in this, too. ROMAN has a great ending, and would make a good double feature with Joel Moore & Adam Green's SPIRAL. |
| User ReviewMaria TThis is indeed as happy as sunshine and body parts. Angela Bettis once danced around to "Do You Love Me Now?" Well, Angela and Lucky, I do indeed. |

| User ReviewFilmGrinder SGreat little film with microscopic budget (I think they only had to buy beer). |
| User ReviewAdam C...have I mentioned how much I like Lucky McKee? (SICK GIRL would be up here too, if it were in Flixster's database) |
| User ReviewLauren WIt started off slow, but it really portrayed the word "obsession" |
