Nancy Freeman is a thirty-something woman who lives with her elderly mother in Liberty, New York. An aspiring short story writer whose submissions are routinely rejected, Nancy finds an outlet for her creativity and need for affection by running a blog in which she claims to be the grieving mother of a dead child. After her mother passes away, Nancy sees a news report about an elderly couple who have never given up the search for their daughter, who was kidnapped as a child thirty years prior. Noting a vague resemblance between herself and an age progression of the couple's daughter, Nancy contacts them, claiming to have uncovered evidence that she was kidnapped and that she is, in fact, their child. As Nancy works her way into the couple's lives, she finds herself falling deeper into her own lies, with consequences for everyone she meets.

| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansSensitively handled by director-writer Christina Choe. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyNancy exhibits a seriousness of purpose that’s rare in American movies today. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinNancy is a grim piece of work, but Choe’s empathy for her protagonist gives the film its distinctive texture — woebegone, with flickers of both hope and dread. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...while Riseborough exudes fragility and loneliness, there is a creepy undercurrent to her performance that gives the film an odd edge |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe Lynches story is compelling and grabs my empathy. Not so for Nancy. |
| New York PostSara StewartYou'll come away knowing you've seen a master at work. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderIt's a role capitalizing on Riseborough's desire to disappear inside whoever she's playing. For her, no two parts are alike, allowing her to always be fresh, always be different and always be sensational. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriI’d urge any viewer to look closely at the lead actress. The emotional journey of the story— and it’s a fairly dramatic one — comes alive and gathers force through her expressions. She is the movie. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrNancy is an eccentric, pungent gift of a film about a woman without identity played by an actress without persona. |
| Film Journal InternationalAnna StormThis is a tightly structured story that will leave you guessing about, and feeling for, the broken people at its center. |
