What may have been profound and poetic on the page feels redundant and banal on screen.

Los Angeles Times
Nelly audaciously renders the contradictions and uncertainties of a writer's inchoate life, even if its central figure remains slightly out of focus.

Film Journal International
The character Ms. Émond and Ms. Mackay create is not likable, but is puzzling in an engrossing way.

New York Times
Émond obviously has deep feeling for Arcan, and "Nelly" is a sincere and respectful attempt to do at least partial, fragmentary justice to a troubled woman...

Variety
What anchors the proceedings is the lead performance of Mylene Mackay, whose star will definitely be on the rise after this sexy, galvanizing turn.

Hollywood Reporter
It is an exceptional film that reads as poetry and taps into the desperation and loss we all feel at some point.

Product Description:
This biopic of magnetic, beautiful and troubled Quebecois author Nelly Arcan (Mylène MacKay) details her attempts to deal with her sudden fame and notoriety when her novel PUTAIN, based on her own experiences as a sex worker, was published to critical acclaim in 2001. After earning nominations for two prestigious French book awards, she committed suicide at the age of 34.
