Review of Downloading Nancy (2008) by Kvn V — 20 Sep 2010

New tag line: "Never felt like killing yourself? Well, you will." I happened upon this after seeing Rufus Sewell in "Dark City" and I wanted to see what he's been up to. It turns out, not much. There is not much in story and there is not a lot of character development, aside from Jason Patric's character. Although, it's not quite development if you never really know where the character is starting from.

Based on true events, I have the feeling this isn't getting a lot of critical acclaim becaue it reads a little too close to life. With people who are unwilling to change and set in their demented ways, it seems as though the film is a passive portrait of depression. I think there is a good concept in there, there are really good performances, but the story is very dull. I think if you have the time and it comes on free on one of your premium cable channels, it might be worth the watch, but don't go renting this one; unless you have the netflix.
