Review of The Mercy (2018) by Jeannette Catsoulis for The New York Times — 29 Nov 2018
In prioritizing Crowhurst’s psychological frailty over his physical challenges (both conveyed more evocatively in the excellent 2007 documentary “Deep Water”), Firth and his director find something quietly touching, even soulful, in the character’s wretchedness.
In this somber tragedy, the real demons are never anywhere but right inside that boat.
