Sid and Nancy
Following their breakout success in England, flagship punk rock band the Sex Pistols venture out on their first U.S. tour. Temperamental bassist Sid Vicious takes his troubled girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, along for the ride. Along the way, the couple's turbulent relationship strains the patience of bandmate Johnny Rotten and manager Malcolm McLaren, while plunging Sid and Nancy into the depths of drug addiction and co-dependency.

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.August 09, 2016
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.August 01, 2016
Just a teensy bit tiresome: two addled junkies falling about and bellowing at each other for 112 long minutes.January 01, 2017
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.February 20, 2019
Sid and Nancy is a fascinating record of a volatile period in music history.August 09, 2016
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.August 09, 2016
Once we sense a glimmer of talent and accept these people as human beings, the tragedy of their drug use resonates enormously.December 27, 2018
Sid & Nancy is a brutal tour de force.September 15, 2016
Sid and Nancy has some claim on being the finest British film of the 1980s.August 04, 2016
It's fascinating to hear the Sex Pistols' No Feelings again. This film makes me think it's their most powerful track.November 30, 2016
Even if "Sid and Nancy" doesn't quite represent the imperfect perfection in which punk music so often traffics, Alex Cox's confident visual symbolism -combined with Chloe Webb & Gary Oldman's performances -grant it piercing volume and knotty shape.August 09, 2016
This is a love story -- an unlikely, perverse, disturbing love story, but a genuine one.
