Nancy Ratings & Reviews
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
This haunting story of identity and the longing for family has achingly real performances, especially J. Smith-Cameron and John Leguizamo. The snowy setting in the final scenes is beautifully filmed and very fitting.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Smith-Cameron and Buscemi are both terrific, Buscemi for the fullness of his subtlety (so much going on in the looks and silences) and Smith-Cameron, for the depths of pain she can suggest, even when she plays a surface happiness.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Nancy" possesses an alert, tense sense of atmosphere, but it winds up being as glum and inert as the protagonist herself.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
[Christina Choe] evokes the pained compassion of Atom Egoyan at his finest, neither maudlin nor absurd, even when the material seems fantastical.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Prepare yourself: it's not often that a movie presents us with a central character as unremittingly sad as this.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The movie's narrowly dramatic technique, with its curtly informational scenes, is matched by the emotional overdetermination of the images.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Nancy" is an eccentric, pungent gift of a film about a woman without identity played by an actress without persona.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Nancy is a grim piece of work, but Choe's empathy for her protagonist gives the film its distinctive texture - woebegone, with flickers of both hope and dread.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Nancy exhibits a seriousness of purpose that's rare in American movies today.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Rather than defaulting to either condemnation or absolution, "Nancy" instead holds out the fleeting possibility of love to someone who has never known it before - and asks why we should begrudge her the impulse to seize it.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Nancy sets its title character up as a lost, lonely woman in an alienating world, then pushes the audience's sympathy for her as far as it can go.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
What's left is a strange, sour tale that's neither origin mystery nor journey of self-discovery, but a vexing gesture toward damage and delusion that never permits us to peek under its broken heroine's hood.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Through it all, Riseborough remains the film's great engine. Her eyes speak both of possibility and trepidation - of someone at once taking in the world and deeply fearful of what might be next.
Entertainment Weekly
Dana Schwartz
Much like a play, it forces you to pay attention to the nuances of each of the actors' (very well-done) performances, to sit with the characters quietly as if in a sitting room too formal to do much else.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
There's vanity in its boutique art-film brand of hopelessness, which derives from an unearned fetishizing of "keeping it real."
New York Post
Sara Stewart
You'll come away knowing you've seen a master at work.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Nancy has an intellectual savviness to its sadness that works, as it challenges viewers on their compassion and ability to recognize something within someone who is so lost.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
Instead of exploring her actions, and the people they affect, Nancy's restraint keeps the film closed-off and grim, as muddy gray as the life she's aching to ditch.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
The movie's refusal to ingratiate is admirable, even if you end up wondering whether it was worth all the doom and gloom.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Nancy is a liar, but the trick is, we can't help but believe her. We want to.
