Synopsis

During the middle of the 16th century, Martin Guerre returns to his village in southwestern France, after being away in the war for almost a decade. The villagers who knew him as a young man suspect he is not Martin, but he seems to know all about his friends, his family and his wife, even the most unusual things. Is this man really Martin Guerre?

Limited and VOD Releases: Have Mercy on the Limited Releases

July 5th, 2019

My Days of Mercy

It’s a really slow week for limited releases. It is so slow that I had to relax my normal limitations for what makes the list and there is still barely anything to talk about. The best movie on this week’s list is My Days of Mercy, which is also earning the loudest buzz. However, it is playing on Video on Demand, so almost no one will see it in theaters. More...
