Critics Consensus

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

2/4

A well-meaning but increasingly contrived melodrama that is hardly believable or meaningful.

3/5

The effervescent chemistry between the two leads [saves] it from Sundance-y overearnestness.

4/5

Contrived yet interesting and undeniably erotic, it's a queer story in both senses.

As heavy as it sounds, there’s a quiet intensity in the frames, which are teeming with raw Midwestern ordinary-ness on full display.

2/5

You do care about the couple, but you can't help but spend the movie shaking your head about how alien the US penal system is. But the film does little to either pluck at your heart-strings or ignite your outrage.

This means that the death penalty parts are actually much better than the rom-com ones, and the disparity leads to some tonally awkward mid-scene transitions between the two.

Can someone give actual information about release for us to watch!!!??

Sep 15, 2017

It deals with a lot of heavy material and there are some truly great moments along with a solid performance from Ellen Page but the whole thing feels uneven and the love story feels inconsequential to the point where it could have been cut out of the film entirely and the meat of story would have been left intact.
