Unseemly, unsettling, and unremittingly bleak, Downloading Nancy is slickly made but mostly unpleasant.

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. Jul 10, 2009 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Some suspense arises about just how far the woman's sickness will take her, but it's overwhelmed by the pointlessness of the story. Jun 5, 2009 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Downloading Nancy is a nasty exploitation flick tarted up with art-house actors and psychobabble. Jun 5, 2009 | Rating: 0.5/5

A chilly, bleak film about characters so programmatic that their plight is easy to shrug off. Jun 4, 2009 | Rating: D+

For all the bad behavior on display, the emotional stakes remain hazily defined. Jun 3, 2009 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

What 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. Jun 3, 2009 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Tortuous, painful, confusing, contrived. It's enough to put the viewer on the couch. Nov 26, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Bello throws herself into Nancy admirably. Yet the film squanders her talents, and what's left of our patience, en route to a finale that is neither surprising nor illuminating: Like the rest of the movie, it's misery for misery's sake. Aug 8, 2009 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A film that may be too heavy for its own good. Christopher Doyle fans will love it while tolerating the harshness of the story. Jun 10, 2009 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

Director Johan Renck essentially builds Nancy and Albert's reality out of an aggregation of overwrought kitsch... and so what seem like occasional lapses into deadpan moments of fantasy aren't always productive in contrast. Heavily art directed for unplea Jun 9, 2009 | Full Review…

Boasts a raw, brave performance by Maria Bello and a stylish cinematography, but suffers from too much style over substance. Its dull, stilted screenplay has poorly developed characters and lacks any real suspense. Jun 9, 2009 | Rating: 4.25/10 | Full Review…
