"whoa, nelly" means to slow down, or not so fast, usually in response to something not expected.

"Adapting a novel frequently requires difficult decisions about compression, winnowing and rewriting. The movie follows Proulx’s story closely, but she breezes over the nearly twenty years of the men’s experiences, stopping only briefly at crucial turning points, referring to others after they’ve passed, and interjecting authorial insights and comments at various junctures."
