Downloading Nancy

You can't really blame Bello for taking every chance available to let her monster talent off its chain, even when the opportunity takes the form of something so ill conceived and unworthy (and dull and ridiculous) as Downloading Nancy.

There are no great, important human lessons to be learned here, no truths about the interior complexities of the soul and psyche that could make any of what occurs to be worthwhile.

An amazing example of talented actors doing their best to make something genuine of a complex concept but being betrayed by writers and a director who seem afraid to really let the film connect.

Some suspense arises about just how far the woman's sickness will take her, but it's overwhelmed by the pointlessness of the story.

Downloading Nancy is a nasty exploitation flick tarted up with art-house actors and psychobabble.

A chilly, bleak film about characters so programmatic that their plight is easy to shrug off.

Downloading Nancy will be one of the more uncomfortable movie experiences you’ve ever had unless you avoid it altogether, which may not be a bad idea.

[W]ith DOWNLOADING NANCY, Bello reaches the pinnacle of her thus far seen vast talents, turning in a performance as Nancy that is mesmerizing, disturbing, interesting and dripping in Oscar gold.

Tortuous, painful, confusing, contrived. It's enough to put the viewer on the couch.
