Oh Mercy Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
This frigid misfire is most readily comparable to Hirokazu Kore-eda's "The Third Murder," another flat genre flirtation from an otherwise reliable master.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Arnaud Desplechin evinces a glancing touch with showing how social tension and need inform law and crime.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
You have to go back to basically the start of the French filmmaker's career to find him working in such a stylistically restrained register.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An atmospheric, smug, and contrived minor police procedural film from France.
Reverse Shot
Susannah Gruder
By doing away with narrative tricks or genre bending, Desplechin puts the focus on the performances, which provide a multifaceted and devastating study of urban desperation.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Oh Mercy is clearly the film where writer/director Arnaud Desplechin explicitly comes to terms with the world, and he does so in a very personal way.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
It isn't too long into its running time that Oh Mercy!, in its generally abiding faith in the effectiveness and general well-meaning of police work, comes off as undiscerning in its pro-cop stance.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
A reasonably engrossing police procedural with roots in a 2008 TV documentary.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
There's a constant sense of deja vu and reminders of other, better films without the material ever really coming into its own.
The Spool
Matt Cipolla
Desplechin's script makes feeble attempts at social commentary, but his framing view of Roubaix is too divorced from any sense of justice.
The Nation
Stuart Klawans
Oh Mercy! is less concerned with discovering who committed a crime than in establishing precisely how it happened and understanding why. You've heard of a pitiless gaze? Desplechin's is the opposite.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
Filmed with intensity and with a cast that commits to each of their roles and nuances, Oh Mercy! delivers exactly what it promises.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
"Oh, Mercy" may not be the veteran French director's finest hour, but the uneven crime picture is nonetheless an intriguing experiment rooted in a real true-crime event.
Film Inquiry
Alistair Ryder
Oh Mercy!, presumably named after what you'll be screaming after enduring something so painfully run of the mill, suffers from the unusual problem of being both too convoluted, and so reliant on formula it never becomes difficult to follow.
