Short description

Lucy is an activist traveling across the United States to protest the death penalty. Her commitment is personal, as her father is currently on death row for the murder of her mother. During a demonstration, she meets Mercy, a woman who supports the execution and has a personal connection to the victim. Despite their opposing political views and initial hostility, the two women develop a romantic relationship as they move from curiosity to physical passion.

Directed by Tali Shalom-Ezer and written by Joe Barton, this drama and romance was a joint production between the United Kingdom and the United States. The film stars Elliot Page as Lucy and Kate Mara as Mercy, supported by a cast that includes Amy Seimetz, Charlie Shotwell, Elias Koteas, and Tonya Pinkins. The production was produced by Kate Mara, Christine Vachon, and Elliot Page.

Released in 2018, the film has been received positively by viewers. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.5/10 based on 6,700 votes, while on TMDB, it has a higher score of 7.3/10 from 252 votes. These audience ratings are slightly higher than the score given by film critics, who rated the movie 6.8/10 across 21 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Kate Mara and Elliot Page had wanted to work together for some time. Considering nothing interesting came their way, they decided to produce their own project and took Joe Barton’s screenplay, which had remained unclaimed for eight years at that point.
  • For many years, Kate Mara refused to appear in nude scenes. Throughout her career, there were occasional shots where she was briefly shown undressed, but nothing more. In this project, she not only agreed to appear nude, but also engaged in a love scene with another woman (at the time of filming, Paige was legally recognized as a woman). Mara later said that it all felt completely natural, because she and Paige were very comfortable with each other.
