Brad Hanford Slant Magazine Misericordia finds Alain Guiraudie revisiting old standbys under a relatively conventional set of aesthetic strategies. Fortunately, the ideas roiling under the former wildman’s newly placid surfaces are as potent as ever. Rated: 3/4 Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety While it may initially appear to be straightforward, nobody could ever accuse this increasingly twisted psychodrama of playing it straight. May 28, 2024 Full Review Isaac Feldberg RogerEbert.com A fantastically tender, alluring, and peculiar small-town tale of murder, desire, and repression. May 27, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant Though it may not have been executed to its best potential, Misericordia still manages to get a rise out of you when you least expect it. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Lawrence Garcia In Review Online It is the finest showcase to date of Guiraudie’s uncanny ability to not just establish a coherent film-world, but continually transform the relations between the real and the imaginary that make it possible. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review James Kleinmann The Queer Review Brilliantly paced, Guiraudie expertly sustains the suspense as the narrative takes some unexpected turns with his spare screenplay that lingers in what remains unspoken between characters. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
