Though they live in different states, Lucy in Ohio and Mercy in Illinois, the two have an undeniable spark. At a protest outside a jail where an execution is taking place, Lucy meets Mercy (Kate Mara), an activist on the other side of the debate, whose father’s best friend and partner was murdered. In the film, they play Lucy, who, after her father is accused of first-degree murder in the US, becomes an anti-death penalty activist. Page is really the standout performance in My Days of Mercy (2017, Tali Shalom Ezer). Lucy stares out a train window, playing with a hair tie given to her by Mercy And yet, this film ー released in 2017, so after the first coming out but before the second ー is one of many examples to show us that perhaps we should put as much focus on what they do as on what they say what they do is act, and they do it pretty damn well.Ī note on pronouns: Page uses he/him or they/them, but their character Lucy uses she/her, hence the differing pronouns when referring to actor (they) and character (she).

Two such announcements seem to have dominated media discourse when it comes to this Canadian actor and producer. It’s been over four months since Elliot Page came out as trans, and over seven years since they first came out as gay.
