| Great debut! (by kalenderov) |
| Very nice surprise for me. The film is not slow, nor long. Has a good rhythm and very adequate music. Actors are great. The story is very touching. It is in my Top 3 for 2018. I can't wait for the next movie by Christina Choe! |
| A wonderful and painful film to watch. (by Hellmant) |
| 'NANCY': Four and a Half Stars Out of Five A mystery-drama about a woman who comes to believe she was kidnapped as a child, after seeing a couple on TV who's daughter went missing 30-years earlier. The film was written and directed by debut feature filmmaker Christina Choe. It stars Andrea Riseborough, J. Smith-Cameron, Steve Buscemi, Ann Dowd and John Leguizamo. It's gotten mostly positive reviews from critics, and it's playing in select indie theaters now like Portland . I found it to be extremely well made and fascinating. Nancy Freeman Riseborough is a depressed, <more> |
| Unconditionally loved it (by bashfulbadger) |
| The beginning of the movie was absorbingly unhurried, drawing you into the claustrophobic confines of antiheroine Nancy's Andrea Riseborough white bread world.We witness her dysfunctional co-dependency with undemonstrative mother Betty Ann Dowd, even dourer than in Handmaid . A poor excuse for a parent, she is the antonym of empowering of her offspring, discouraging downtrodden Nancy from trying, convinced she'll never succeed.Riseborough impressively blends vulnerability and an innate dishonesty as this lost child-woman floundering on the outskirts of society cooking up <more> |
| why cant she smile.????? (by ops-52535) |
| This is really a deep heartwrenching and very sad film about people seeking for their somehow lost children. what i liked about this film were the steady float of the story,very nice filming and very well set locations,without making any great significance of a blockbuster movie. the main character,are kind of a grey,dull and quite emotionless girl,most likely formed so due to socioenvironmental causes.the acting is great,but i wish the director could have put a smile on that motionless face. the score strengthens the sad undertone of the film,it was not my taste of film music anyway. its a <more> |
| nice emotional story,, but i kinda hoped for a better "surprising" ending . (by Aktham_Tashtush) |
| The plot of the movie is somewhat original ,, the movie itself was emotional and confusing at first ,, but the mystery-drama genre is so heightened ,, the script writing looks flawless ,even though in sometimes it might look a bit slow or empty , it was filled by the brilliant facial expressions of the cast .Cast wise,, watched Andrea Riseborough in Mandy,, that movie with Nicholas Cage and it kinda was awful ,, so i got a bit hesitant at first,,, but she did amazing in here and of course Steve Buscemi and Ann Dowd were spot on.now apart from all that,, i really wished for a surprising <more> |
| Nancy's mannerisms (by joneskeller07) |
| After reading many online criticisms about "Nancy," I just remembered what I thought to be the most inane sequence: when Nancy screams for Paul, who has snuck out the door at 4:00 a.m. Risenborough screams with a stridently loud voice which a sane cat would be sure to ignore. This is symbolic of the crude home from which she hales. She echoes no feminity, grace, or softness and seems the perfect object of attention for Brooke's mother. What a perfect antidote to years of depravity and squattish living. But, we all know you can't remove the black wig and cuddle Nancy. As she <more> |
