"This is the tragic love story of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. This is one of Gary Oldman's best performances and cements his place as a top tier actor in my opinion. Chloe Webb plays Nancy in such an annoying way, her whining is so grating on my nerves that I just love to hate her. Fame and success help fuel a downward spiral of drug addiction that ends violently. As a kid who grew up in the punk rock scene, this movie hit home for me as Sid and Nancy had become legendary by the 80's. Great movie. 8.5/10"

"7.5/10. Excellent acting. Gary Oldman in title role. As for the subject matter, rather disturbing biopic about two horrible young junkies. A must for Sex Pistols fans."

"Transcends being a punk film and becomes something much greater in large part due to the acting. #punk "

"I think that Gary Oldman did *such* a good job in this. John "Sid" Simon Richie's mom gave him the chain dog collar that Sid wore all the time, and it seems that Gary, already a slender man, had to lose at least 35 pounds in order to be able to fit it around his neck...."
