Starring in the film is BAFTA-nominated The Long Walk to Finchley actress Andrea Riseborough. Although she got her start in theatre, Riseborough has transitioned to TV and film on both sides of the Atlantic, appearing in movies like Made in Dagenham, Birdman, and The Death of Stalin and shows like Doc Martin, Black Mirror, and Waco. In Nancy, she portrays a woman who comes to believe she was kidnapped as a child before meeting a couple whose child disappeared years before.

Variety shares the following information about the film and its cast:

Amy Nicholson praised Riseborough’s performance in her Variety review at Sundance: “It’s an apt role for Riseborough, a screen chimera with the eerie ability to shape-shift between awkward teenagers and grown women. Here, she’s both at once, an immature, exhausted-looking, vague blur who might grow old and die before she figures out who she truly is.”

The cast includes Steve Buscemi, J. Smith-Cameron, Ann Dowd, and John Leguizamo.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
