Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader [An] observant, nuanced indie. Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Writer-director-producer Michael Glover Smith's Mercury in Retrograde is a smart, funny, quietly effective and authentic slice of older millennial life. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Patrick McDonald WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI) Poignant and emotional, the film delves into the our human condition through relationship situations that are totally relatable. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Andrea Thompson Cultured Vultures This is only the second feature from [Michael Glover] Smith, and unfortunately, it is his inexperience, not his very real skill, that comes through. Rated: 4/10 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Public musings and private confessions get louder and more pointed to observe the further Smith takes them. Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Joshua Speiser Film Threat Aiming to be insightful melodrama about the communication barriers between men and women, and the true meaning of love, Mercury in Retrograde is hoisted on its own petard and ends up distancing rather than embracing salient topics it attempts to tackle. Rated: 2/5 Mar 21, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is a real life drama that people face in relationships every day, seeking answers to serious questions, and trying to find that magic to maintain a lifelong friendship with the one you love. The story is funny, emotional, hopeful, sad, and pulls at your heart from all directions. It is an easy watch and the actors are all top shelf! I felt like I was on a trip with these people in their vacation cabin in Michigan. Such a delightful film! Thanks to Michael Glover Smith for not only writing a thought provoking film but also his direction of the actors that pulled off a fantastic story!
