'Sid and Nancy' is a depressing, devastating motion-picture, that works for 2 reasons: Gary Oldman & Chloe Webb. Both of the actors are Mesmerising in their portrayals.
'Sid and Nancy' portrays the life of Sid Vicious, bassist of the seminal punk rock band the Sex Pistols, and his relationship with girlfriend Nancy Spungen.
Sid Vicious & Nancy Spungen unfold on celluloid as ambitious but harmful people. They are addicted to the wrong stuff, they lack a good tongue, but they aren't horrible people. They are simply among those people, where their addiction takes over their lives. As mentioned, this biopic is depressing & devastating, its not meant for the faint-hearted.
Alex Cox & Abbe Wool's Screenplay is devastating yet brutally honest. Alex Cox's Direction, on the other-hand, is appropriate.
Oldman as Sid & Webb as Nancy are truly Mesmerising! Oldman is a master actor, he can never be doubted. Webb as Nancy, well words fail to justify her portrayal. Both of the actors deserved Oscar-Noimnations, but they were robbed & how!
On the whole, 'Sid and Nancy' isn't for the faint-hearted, but for those who have a stomach for such brutally honest films, should NOT give it a miss.
