Tali Shalom-Ezer

Tali Shalom-Ezer is an Israeli queer filmmaker known for Princess (2014), a psychologically complex film about a mother and child's suffocating relationship, and My Days of Mercy (2017), which starred Ellen Page and Kate Mara as women from opposite sides of the death penalty debate who fall in love. My Days of Mercy was one of the few mainstream American-adjacent films of that era to center a lesbian relationship with Hollywood-level production values. Shalom-Ezer has spoken about her own queer identity in relation to her choice of subject matter.
