The acting is spot-on, but this quiet film leaves much to be desired. The word anticlimax comes to mind.
Other reviewers describe this as a sad film, some going as far as to label it "misery porn." I could have accepted some misery porn. But once you've seen The Swerve starring the Incomparable Azura Skye, the bar for something to be called misery porn becomes so much higher than Nancy reaches. Nancy is far from a feel-good film, but it's also a long way from the opposite thereof. It is sad, and quiet, and I expect to be forgetting it within days.

Sometimes a film hides its low budget very well. Lo doesn't do that-it almost screams LOW BUDGET. But if you can look past that, and a few instances of some fairly cringeworthy acting, you might find something enjoyable and totally worth it.
I'd recommend watching this without reading too much about it. The plot is fairly simple, though there are a few good twists and Lo's contempt for the truth helps keep a viewer guessing.
Is it fantastic film? Hell no. But there are at least a thousand worse ways to spend 80 minutes.
