A self-destructive housewife takes what may be her final step into the abyss in this independent
psychological drama.
Nancy Stockwell (
Maria Bello) is a woman edging into her forties who has fallen into a deep and prolonged state of depression, finding her only solace in self-inflicted pain.
Nancy has grown weary of her relationship with her husband,
Albert (
Rufus Sewell), and one day he comes home from work to find a note in which
Nancy says she's decided to visit an old friend for a few days. When
Nancy doesn't call after several days,
Albert begins to worry that something is wrong, and he soon learns that
Nancy hasn't told him the truth.
Nancy has struck up an on-line relationship with
Louis Farley (
Jason Patric), who has a passion for violent sex, and she has decided to meet with him in person, but she has more in mind than just a fling -- she believes that
Louis is the man who can end her misery by killing her. Also featuring
Amy Brenneman as
Nancy's analyst,
Downloading Nancy was the first English-language feature from Swedish filmmaker
Johan Renck.
