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.
Top CriticSome suspense arises about just how far the woman's sickness will take her, but it's overwhelmed by the pointlessness of the story.
Top CriticDownloading Nancy is a nasty exploitation flick tarted up with art-house actors and psychobabble.
Top CriticWhat makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes. It's that a kinkfest with this blah an emotional spectrum is selling its own chic form of puritanism -- sex with all the life force repressed.
Top CriticNot only does it waste the audiences time with 102 minutes of misery and despair, but it also trashes the talents of four fine actors who should have stayed in bed reading better screenplays that deserve attention and enhance careers.
Top CriticWhen you peel away this film's complex performances, at the core of its drawn-out suicide spectacle is pain so extreme, so alienating, and, in the end, so pointless.
Top CriticRenck indisputably proves he's able to sustain a tone, but it's a pretentiously solemn one in which the wallow in extreme psychological and emotional realms are continuously disrupted by silly and distracting real-life details.
Top CriticThe actors gamely struggle to find some truth here, but their director lets them down: [Johan] Renck sees nothing other than True Events to exploit.
