There are brutal scenes with razor blades and other impromptu devices of erotic torment, but what makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes. - 38
New York Post
An icky S&M thriller. - 33

In short, this is a movie about bruised people bruising each other, and if Downloading Nancy had more of an openly pulpy sensibility, then the repugnant premise might’ve had some lasting impact. - 30

Film Threat
Downloading Nancy is an excruciating experience. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Ill conceived and unworthy (and dull and ridiculous). - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
