Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Cox doesn't just plot an obvious decline: things do get grim, but he makes you care as you also despair for punk's cracked casualties.

Neil Young may have namedropped Johnny Rotten in "My My, Hey Hey" but it's Vicious he was really singing about.

Spectrum Culture
[T]he film is an unsparing -- and also touching -- account of their destructive relationship.
Sight and Sound
...They're a fabulous disaster, one of the screen's sickest romances...
Rolling Stone
...Ghastly but funny...
Film Comment
Rating: 2.5/4 --
There is some nobility in the film's relentlessness and single-minded focus, but not enough to redeem its lack of having anything much to say beyond what we get on the surface.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Once we sense a glimmer of talent and accept these people as human beings, the tragedy of their drug use resonates enormously.

Product Description:
Alex Cox's riveting biopic tells the bleak, heroin-drenched story of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his disturbed American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Gary Oldman delivers a bravura performance as Sid, matched by Chloe Webb's grating, clearly unhinged Nancy. The two lovers' childlike tenderness with each other contrasts sharply with their bleak, violent nihilism, and while the script implies that Nancy's death was accidental, the line between intention and accident is deliberately blurred. By turns romantic and horrific, SID & NANCY is often grueling to watch, but always compelling.
This followup to Cox's cult hit REPO MAN was another critical success, showing that the director was as comfortable with reality-based material as with the satirical fantasy of his first feature. His romantic vision draws us in while throwing us back in time to London and New York at the inception of the drug-laden British punk era. The film's dreamlike style and a hypnotic score dramatize the schism between Sid and Nancy's world and the world around them--and the inevitable horror when those worlds collide.
