Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he performances, especially Oldman's bravura turn stave off the misery, and Cox's direction is anarchic with a splash of art...

Rating: 3/5 --
Sid and Nancy is a fascinating record of a volatile period in music history.

Sid & Nancy is an honorable try, but it could have been better had Cox found a way to imbue the movie with some of the sheer zaniness of his Repo Man.

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.

Chicago Tribune
Rating: 4/4 --
They are more than zombies doing needlepoint on each other's veins. Both are brought to life in complex, deeply felt performances from two actors who have abandoned themselves to enormously demanding and difficult roles.

Webb captures the vulnerability -- and possible madness -- beneath Spungen’s shrill exterior, while Oldman, in his breakout performance, brings to the surface the insecurity of his character... -- Grade: B

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.
