Gary Oldman has played a huge array of characters, Lee Harvey Oswald, Dracula, Ludwig van Beethoven, and he is good as all of them but for me, his portrayal of Sid Vicious is his finest.
Andrew Schofield, Chloe Webb, David Hayman
"Sid and Nancy" is the sad, sordid story of Sid Vicious, a member of the seminal British punk group The Sex Pistols, and his doomed relationship with his American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.

Though I've never been a fan of The Sex Pistols I did, years ago, read a biography of Nancy Spungen that was written by her mother. Therefore I had a bit of empathetic preconception about what this film was about and where it was going to lead me. In a nutshell, it's the tragic...( read more)

El título original era "El amor mata, Sid y Nancy". Esta película retrata un periódo de una extraña renovada fascinación por la vida y muerte de Sid Vicious.
La película se basa en la historia de una destrucción mutua, una relación de excesos de drogas y sexo sadomasoquista entr...( read more)

September 3, 2007When i first saw it, i thought wow! it was mindblowing and i personally beleive this was Gary Oldman greatest performance ever. Chloe Webb was just as great but she has never made it big in her movie career which is a shame because she was fantastic as Nancy. I never get sick of watching this movie because it is a classic!

June 16, 2007Both Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb were really convincing. I'm really glad it was made back than, because if the film was made now, no actor/actress would be able to portray sid and nancy.

December 25, 2006vicious is a bloody legend and although this movie was generally okay it's just not good enough to remember him by.it exploited sid and nancy and punk rock in general, the only reason it was made was to make money at a time where there was growing facination of the life of the young punk rocker.
the movie has a lot of errors in it too such as the red vest sid vicious wears in the film, it has a hammer and a whatever the other thing is on it when in actual fact it should have a nazi swastika on it..&& the film has nancy giving sid his chain and padlock necklace when in real life it was given to him by chrissie hyde...
the storyline is very well and whatever but seriously the movie was not in good intentions and therefore if you respect this movie because you think you are a fan of the sex pistols or just a punk rock fan in general you are clueless and obiously not at all what you think you are.if this is you be ashamed, be very ashamed!
let sid and nancy rest in peace!
