”It’s a Guiraudie movie without any onscreen sex, yet it’s the one in which characters are driven daffiest by their desires. Repression makes everything worse, it seems. Misericordia has a wicked sense of humor that sneaks up on you. It’s an uneasy, pokerfaced kind of comedy that thrives on the viewer stewing in discomfort over the increasingly amoral twists.” – North Shore Movies, 03/27/2025
