Wherever lies the truth of the central narrative, what is irrefutable is the awesome talent on display from all involved. Nancy is a heartbreaker, and that's a good thing.

An intense character study in triplicate, made gripping both by the deliberately ambiguous way in which Christina Choe approaches everyone's mental state and by the performances.

You'll come away knowing you've seen a master at work.

A mellow movie that's mostly about living with these performances. Riseborough transforms into this lost character grasping for something to be a part of.

Rare is it that one gets to see a performance as strong as Andrea Riseborough's in NANCY.

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.

Sensitively handled by director-writer Christina Choe.

Nancy is a liar, but the trick is, we can't help but believe her. We want to.

Nancy rises above its dingy settings, drab costumes and Riseborough's alarmingly matted hair to become an unpredictable story about a character you can never comfortably know.
