Mercy's Girl

I liked this movie, but I felt it was rather slow-moving, and I was disappointed that it didn't deal more with certain issues, particularly the sexual assault by the man in the bar. I think the movie - and the main characters, and their relationship - would have benefited from a discussion between them about this.

On the other hand, considering both the budget and the multitude of roles which Emily Lape undertook in the making of this movie, I think it's a very impressive achievement. The cinematography is excellent, and overall the content of the film is engaging and moving. I'm looking forward to seeing future works by Ms. Lape.
