Read More I watched this movie with my teenager, who was interested in that era of music. I had forgotten how hard a movie it was to watch with all of the screeching and screaming and stupidity of Sid and ,even more so, his lovely Nancy. Even though the film does an amazing job of capturing the boredom and off the tracks, no limits behavior of the punk movement, we were not able to sit through the entire thing.

Read More Some people relate to The Notebook and get all teary eyed, but me, my fairy tale romance is the true story of Sid and Nancy. Though the movie ends with only one theory of Nancy's Tragedy, I cry, at more than one part, nearly every damn time. I've seen this like 50-60 times, and kept it for like a month. I absolutely love this movie. It tells the story well and they couldn't have gotten better actors to play Sid & Nancy. This is deffinetly my favorite movie of all time.

Read More Mainly (tried to) watched this movie because I'm a huge Gary Oldman fan and wanted to learn more about music history and the punk rock genre. The first half of the movie was pretty good. The second half, you can repeatedly walk out of the room for ten minutes on end and not really miss anything. About three-quarters of the through I didn't care anymore and turned it off because I couldn't stand listening to Nancy's constant whining and screeching. So, I don't know how it ended. My guess is they both committed suicide, got hit by a bus, or died in a car or plane crash...like how it usually goes for rock stars. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
