Though My Days of Mercy's knotty romance drifts into melodrama, it's grounded by Ellen Page and Kate Mara's exceptional chemistry.

A well-meaning but increasingly contrived melodrama that is hardly believable or meaningful. Jul 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The movie doesn't buckle under the weight of its ambitions, and in straining to find the light it ends up engaging and compelling - even if it is overly complex. Sep 12, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Produced as a vehicle for co-starring friends Ellen Page and Kate Mara, "Mercy" serves them both well, with critical support likely to help the film find an audience despite its challenging themes. Sep 9, 2017 | Full Review…

Exerts a certain pull due to its unblinking evocation of bare-bones working class American life and the slow-burn relationship sensitively etched by Ellen Page and Kate Mara. Sep 9, 2017 | Full Review…

Mixing a death-penalty melodrama and a lesbian romance isn't as awkward as it might seem, thanks mostly to two committed performances and an avoidance of heavy-handed contrivances. Jul 5, 2019 | Full Review…

Mostly about watching Page and Mara manage dramatics, trying to make potentially one-dimensional characters into living, breathing human beings. They're successful, even when the movie isn't. Jul 3, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Beautifully incisive performances by Ellen Page and Kate Mara create a prism through which to examine how the death penalty impacts those far beyond death row. Hardly subtle, and yet still delicate. May 23, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
