Nelly Ratings & Reviews
That Shelf
Michael McNeely
It is an exceptional film that reads as poetry and taps into the desperation and loss we all feel at some point.

Mylene Mackay is good at suggesting the different aspects of her character, but the performance is not revelatory enough to overcome the otherwise half-baked nature of the film as a whole

It is hard to present a person (Arcan) or a subject (prostitution) as both inscrutable and meaningful

Frank Scheck
What anchors the proceedings is the lead performance of Mylene Mackay, whose star will definitely be on the rise after this sexy, galvanizing turn.
Film Journal International

Nelly audaciously renders the contradictions and uncertainties of a writer's inchoate life, even if its central figure remains slightly out of focus.

Jennie Kermode
MacKay is impressive in her ability to work with these layers, letting neither pain nor playfulness overwhelm her character and giving us poignant glimpses of the person underneath.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
The character Ms. Émond and Ms. Mackay create is not likable, but is puzzling in an engrossing way.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Émond obviously has deep feeling for Arcan, and "Nelly" is a sincere and respectful attempt to do at least partial, fragmentary justice to a troubled woman...
