Who Killed Nancy? examines social transgressions by focusing on a woman who lived outside mid-century respectability. The film successfully deconstructs conventional social hierarchies by centering on a non-conforming lifestyle. However, the work lacks significant diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, and LGBTQ+ identities. The narrative remains narrowly focused on a specific Western subculture. Ultimately, the documentary achieves a moderate score by examining individuals who oppose mainstream institutional values, despite limited representation of diverse identities.
