9/10
Have you ever felt it?

If you don't have (I hope you don't) or Haven't had it in the past, hold your tongue when criticizing the fidelity this movie has with the disease. Except if your a psychologist.

For The Love of Nancy represents exactly the disease's life picture. Nothing to take away, and nothing to put in. How do I know that? I have had an anorexia principle in the past, I could be able to push myself out of it by myself, but I know what the next step with the disease I was about to give.

Along with the movie, you'll face and amazing interpretation of all characters. Even those who barely appears in 30 seconds scene. But for the family, emphasis on Tracey Gold (not always the main character is as good as the others). She could really drags you in her persona, makes you understand the question, the feeling.

At the beginning you'll not understand what made her feel that way. I haven't either. But after watch the movie, everything began to make sense (and another review already explained that). It's all about "control". The people's desire to obtain control of everything that surround them/us. Then if you can't control your life changing, you'll eventually start controlling what's left at your choice and people around you. That happens because we humans work in "compensation mode" all the time, and For The Love Of Nancy reach this point, but just after it's middle. Just try to watch it with patience, let the story flow and if you have a little bit of "human mind operational sense" you can understand why things happen the way they happen.

I honestly believe the only thing For the Love of Nancy missed out was a proper soundtrack. You can barely hear a song along the movie. On the other hand, there is a god writing. But no soundtrack.

Since I've found just one thing this expressive movie missed out. I'm oblige to give an 9. I almost never rate a movie 9.
