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.
- Alternate versionsTV version is missing all the nude sex scenes.

Cute love story
The best part of this movie is the love story between Lucy and Mercy, not the least because of the amazing chemistry between Ellen Page and Kate Mara. The rest of the story falls horribly flat. I didn't buy into the anti or pro-death penalty angle, I was unmoved by the constant references to the executions that mark the various scenes. I also had no feeling about the other plot, the execution of Lucy, Martha, and Ben's father Simon.I have a feeling most of this movie was left on the cutting room floor.
This movie was predictable.They could have put Ellen and Kate into any scenario and it would have worked. All in all, I can't deny the fact that Ellen and Kate are amazing actresses. Their love story is the only thing that was good in this movie. For that alone its worth watching at least once.
