Nancy is an uncomfortable watch, but worth the effort thanks to Andrea Riseborough's central performance -- and writer-director Christina Choe's powerful empathy for her character's dangerously misguided choices.

Smith-Cameron and Buscemi are both terrific, Buscemi for the fullness of his subtlety (so much going on in the looks and silences) and Smith-Cameron, for the depths of pain she can suggest, even when she plays a surface happiness. Jun 29, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"Nancy" possesses an alert, tense sense of atmosphere, but it winds up being as glum and inert as the protagonist herself. Jun 28, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Nancy" is an eccentric, pungent gift of a film about a woman without identity played by an actress without persona. Jun 14, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Nancy is a film about identity and the events in our lives that make us who we are. If you thought you loved Andrea Riseborough in Mandy, just wait. Feb 17, 2019 | Full Review…

Riseborough, so appealing in Battle of the Sexes and amusingly histrionic in The Death of Stalin, is astonishing in the lead role. Feb 11, 2019 | Full Review…
