Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor years, Kate Mara had refused to do true nude scenes. She had done brief scenes in the past where she was nude but didn't actually show anything, but it wasn't until she started working with her friend Elliot Page on this film that she not only agreed to be naked, she agreed to have sex on screen with another woman (at the moment of making the movie Page still publicly identified as a woman). When talking about the experience in an interview, she noted that it was all natural, because she and Page were so comfortable with each other and they felt they had an instant connection and trust.
- GoofsWhen Lucy is scrolling through the law firm's website, the employee's about sections switch names partway through. Only the names at the top and the first instance in the description match the film's characters. Mercy's name changes to Irma and Chance changes to Boling.

Brilliant actors steal the show
Once in a while we get a movie like this. No need for visual trickery no fancy over the top set pieces. Just two outstanding actresses and a good script. To get the nitpick out of the way the movie drags a little even though it is pretty short.
That being said everything else is outstanding. It again without doing much shows you how cruel death penalty is like this is news. In 2019 even a flatearther has a stronger argument than a death penalty supporter. And even though the USA is the last democratic country to have it it is thankfully just a matter of time until it is gone.
Mara and page are outstanding in every scene. They do so much with so little. Page as always is so believable. You can feel what she feels at any given second. I am not surprised this didn't get a wide release. Movies like this have a hard time. But we need so much more of this. So much more about movies that make you think about them even days later.
