Editorial Review:
After the cultish success of Repo Man, maverick director Alex Cox made the film that remains his masterpiece--a loud, brash, abrasive, painful, funny, and utterly brilliant screen biography of British punk rocker Sid Vicious and his American girlfriend Nancy Spungen. As played to perfection by Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb, Sid and Nancy are made for each other, serving their mutual strengths and weaknesses and rising with the punk-rock fame of Sid's group, the Sex Pistols, while falling into the ultimately lethal pit of drug abuse. Cox doesn't pull any punches or compromise the unsavory aspects of this passionate love story, so the film presents a harsh mix of emotional and physical anguish tempered by the very poignant and genuine love shared by its tormented central characters. Through it all, the film emerges as an intimate and yet oddly epic chronicle of punk's glory days of anarchic sex, drugs and rock & roll. It's as dynamic and confidently directed as any screen biography before or since, no less fascinating for its unpleasant aspects as for the touching emotions at its very human core. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Overlooked Performances.
I barely recognized Gary Oldman in this role. He shed double digit pounds for the role and I hear he paid a trip to the hospital for it. That's usually what Acadamy voters usually obsess about. But it's just the beginning point of my argument for Gary. What's more, I sense possession in Gary, a transformation rarely seen in todays, or in the history of film making. His torment is for our pleasure. I thought to myself that during episodes of this movie Gary must really be coked out, and I mean that ... Read More
Rating: - Punk Super Star Sid Viciousis Great !
This film got everything you could want.
Gary Oldham is great as super punk star Sid, well Sid was much more handsome, aside from that he does a fantastic job with Sid's character.
Nancy is played by Chloe Webb a very pretty actress who does a great job of imitating Nancy's husky nasal voice but she's really too pretty to play Nancy.
There are lots of scenes that are really hilarious and it does a good job of taking the viewer back to the late 70's and height of punk rock revolution. ... Read More
