My Days of Mercy is a powerful drama that explores the relationship between two women from opposing sides of the death penalty debate. The film stars Elliot Page as Lucy, a young woman who has been protesting the death penalty with her family since she was a child. Kate Mara plays Mercy, a woman whose father was murdered and who believes in the use of capital punishment. Amy Seimetz rounds out the cast as Martha, Lucy's older sister who is dealing with her own emotional baggage.

The film takes place in Ohio, where Lucy and her family are protesting the upcoming execution of a man named Simon (Elias Koteas). It is during one of these protests that Lucy meets Mercy, who is there to support the execution. Despite their opposing beliefs, the two women are drawn to each other and begin a romantic relationship.

As their relationship deepens, Lucy and Mercy find themselves dealing with the challenges of their differing beliefs. They argue about the death penalty and struggle to come to a mutual understanding. Meanwhile, Martha is struggling with her own issues, including her strained relationship with Lucy and her own involvement in the death penalty debate.

One of the strengths of My Days of Mercy is its willingness to explore both sides of the death penalty debate with nuance and sensitivity. The film doesn't preach to the audience or offer easy answers. Instead, it presents a complex and emotionally resonant story that allows the audience to make up their own minds.

The chemistry between Page and Mara is one of the highlights of the film. Both actors deliver powerful and natural performances that make the audience invested in their relationship. The supporting cast is strong as well, with Seimetz offering a layered and nuanced portrayal of a woman dealing with trauma and complex emotions.

The film is also visually stunning, with director Tali Shalom-Ezer using the Ohio landscape to great effect. The film is shot with a certain amount of grit and realism, giving it a raw and emotional quality.

My Days of Mercy is not an easy film to watch, but it is a deeply affecting one.
