Very well executed

good back-story, and good acting

Admirable film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The first time I saw this I was angry with the Sid Vicious . Sid Vicious to me was a legend to be talked about, in awe, at small party's, in my teens; on the east coast. Someone who would give stage shows like no other rebellious young person. Things like razor blades in the mouth and bashing people with his bass guitar made Sid Vicious a legend of his time. I saw him in a movie called DOA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082226 . When I saw this I was about 22 years old, and I forever respected the punk rock movement; after that. I saw the uncut version at Yale in the public cinema there in Connecticut. I highly recommend watching movies like that with college students. The second time I saw it I was really touched emotionally. Not because of the vices of the characters. What touched me was the love Sid and Nancy had for each other. Here they were living hellish lifestyles that would turn most older adults stomachs; yet there love for each other was so raw and genuine. Seeing them cling to each other so much; aloud me see the some goodness in them. The sadness of the movie as a whole makes it a 10.I do not know if there is a better actor than Gary Oldman. Every since I saw him in Dracula there is no one that can compare. When he does the line: ("I am the monster that breathing men would kill. I am Dracula."); is proof he a one of the best actors out there. Chloe Webb's performance seemed perfect. How exactly someone would come across like that is unknown to me. She did a one of a kind performance; as a top notch actress, for her time. I was surprised to see she is not that well known.

Sid and NancyLike EDM musicians, Hip-Hop artists and Pop vocalists, Punk rockers can make millions without ever knowing how to play a musical instrument.Case in point, the maladroit bassist in this drama.At the height of the Sex Pistols' popularity, crusty punker Sid Vicious (Gary Oldman) is introduced to American groupie Nancy Spungen (Chloe Webb). Although he's warned by his band mate Johnny Rotten (Andrew Schofield) and their manager Malcolm McLaren (David Hayman) to steer clear, Sid is drawn to Nancy and her stash of heroin. The volatile union inevitably destroys the band before terminating the star-crossed lovers themselves in true punk fashion.While Oldman's acting début manages to electrify, auteur Alex Cox' 1986 adaptation of the 1978 events marginalizes lead singer Rotten's importance in the band's success, while glamourizing Vicious' drug abuse and his bad musicianship. Incidentally, if drugs didn't kill Sid Vicious, hearing himself in a car commercial would've. Yellow Light

If you are looking for historically correct, look elsewhere. Passionate, heart breaking, and beautiful. A great foreshadowing of how amazing Gary Oldman is. Chloe Webb- such an underrated actress. These two perfectly embody the Sid and Nancy we "knew." It's a great film to watch for style inspiration as well- fashion, art, music. Just beware the romanticizing of such a dangerous lifestyle... it seems so fabulous from outside the box. Nothing better than a tragic love story....

Sid Vicious was the bass player of the Sex Pistols. One problem: He couldn't play one note.In a nod to the inexplicable modern popularity of reality TV though, it still didn't stop him from becoming a star. Mainly, because he was a walking car crash.Nancy Sturgeon did even less. She was his American girlfriend, a passably attractive blonde,with a hair-trigger temper. She became a famous celebrity, as well.Why, though?Both were drug-addled losers, who routinely broke the law, abused themselves and each other, not to their penchant for being mention hedonistic masochists. They spent the last few months of their pathetic existences as high as the Moon in a filthy hotel room, before dying in ignominious circumstances.So, what makes them such a notorious couple, that they're on the names of the lips of most of that generation, and even having a film based on their squalid, short lives now?I have no idea.One thing I AM sure of is most of their antics seem like child's play in comparison to what some of we see from today's batch of Z- listers. What was front page news in the late 70's/ early 80's is pretty much par for the cause in the noughties.That's... That's quite depressing really.I think I need to go and lie down, now.Oh, and the film itself is pretty good.It was worth the wait to find that out, huh? 6/10
