Downloading Nancy (2008) is based on true events. It follows a housewife named Nancy. She was abused as a young child and lives a life of masochism. She is tired of living and hires a man that she meets online to end her life for her.
This film was very disturbing, but also very interesting. I doubt that it would be as compelling if not for the phenomenal cast. Maria Bello plays the part of Nancy. Rufus Sewell plays the part of Nancy's selfish husband, Albert. Jason Patric plays Louis, the man that Nancy meets online. Amy Brenneman plays Carol, Nancy's therapist.
The film goes back and forth in time to scenes of Nancy and Albert's marriage, Nancy and Louis' meeting, and Nancy and Carol's sessions, but it is not really the plot that unfolds. The film depicts more of a psychological unfolding.
This film probably isn't for everyone, but I would definitely recommend it.
