Interesting debut with strong performances and a compelling tale. This could have gone down a darker, criminal route but wisely doesn't. It stays downbeat, and oddly touching.

Nancy is not a bad movie to watch if you are expecting to watch a drama about a woman who perpetrates identity fraud on strangers online, but who actually feels somewhat lost about her own true identity and where she really came from. But if you are expecting suspense or thrills, an exciting plot, a shocking twist, or dynamic ending, don't hold your breath.

That WIG!!! . Looking at it i hardly watched the film. May be an interesting story but bad script. We dont understand why is she so problematic and lying? playing as pregnant woman etc. Very disturbing abd irritating character both as attitude and with that hair (wig)! What was the problem with her mother and she insisted not to take her to a hospital and caused her dead.

(Flash Review) Having a your child go missing is bad but also being a child who effectively has missing parents can be bad as well. After 30 years a couple who lost their 6 year old is contacted by a young woman who thinks she may be their missing child after seeing a future-aged photo on the news. They meet up and the mother tries to figure out if it really is her daughter through emotions while the father seeks hard evidence through logic. Both sides are so desperate for emotional stability and trying to heal old pain and emptiness that they dabble at a new reality....together. Can the new reality sustain as things progress? This was a small, quiet and strange little film with several moments of serious and meaty contemplation. Good acting and a unique story equals an interesting film choice gamble. However, the one gal had an awfully irritating wig.

This film tells the story of a woman who thinks she was kidnapped when she was a child. Though the film seems to be about Nancy, I think it really is about the couple with the missing child. They go through emotional rollercoasters every time when someone claims to have information about their missing child. I particularly like the fact that the result of the DNA test is implied and not explicit. I feel rather sad about how the couple react afterwards. There are three speeches by the her mother which indicates the result of the DNA test : in the snow just before the hunting accident, during dinner and when Nancy is interrupted from saying singing. It is heartbreaking to see that the mother would rather settle for the present, than have another dashed hope. I think this is an engaging and heartbreaking story.

This indie is an intriguing and haunting psychological "thriller", but not a thriller in the ordinary use of the term. There's just a constant air of melancholic uncertainty, so you just don't know which way the film is going to go. The most talented Andrea Riseborough gives a terrific performance here as the introverted and depressive Nancy who's possibly a victim of abuse. She's been taking care of her ailing and carping mother (Ann Dowd), who has Parkinson's. Nancy is an aspiring writer, suffering through many rejection letters from publishers, while trying to earn money in temp jobs. When her mother passes from a stroke, Nancy sees a TV news story about the 30th anniversary of the disappearance of a 5-year-old girl from a shopping mall. When see sees an age progression picture of what the girl would look like today, it bears a striking resemblance to her. Add to that, the fact that Nancy cannot find her birth certificate in any files at home. She calls the parents of the missing girl and sets up a meeting with them, after sending them a photo of herself on her cell phone. The father (Steve Buscemi) is a psychologist and skeptical whether Nancy is their daughter, while the mother (J. Smith Cameron) is more accepting and open to the possibility. Both Buscemi and Smith Cameron are superb in their roles here. I won't go into more details or write spoilers, but I'll say I was very engrossed as to which way this movie was going to go. Overall, not the easiest film to watch because of its constant melancholic tone, but the fine acting from a most solid cast and its suspenseful atmospherics drew me in and kept me there. An excellent feature film debut from Christina Choe, who wrote and directed the indie.

After seeing this with half the audience groaning I was going to write a review, but after reading the Slant Magazine review (linked under critic reviews on IMDB's main "Nancy" page, I recommend reading that review which nails all the conceits and tropes in this film. Ohe of the other user reviews here said they were impressed the film did not use the usual Hollywood tricks. This baffles me since the entire mode of the film is to march out every possible US film school trick. In fact the film makers ARE Nancy right down to her final decision to simply walk out with no resolution.

Is no one going to ask about the effing wig? I mean it's the main character, the riddle, the subplot. No one addresses it? The Wig wasn't even in the credits. Dang, they did wig wrong.

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 "kinda happy" ending ,, that behind all of that scheme,, once might actually turn out to be true .. but anyway ,, the movie overall was really good and so recommended.

A horror website led me to watch this film, stating that while it was not horror, it was a thriller...um NO ! It turned out to be a sloppy drama. I better judge for myself when picking out 'thriller' films to gain my jollies.
