Review of Sid and Nancy (1986) by Joe B — 24 Jun 2008
I finally got around to this one. Does anyone else think this thing should've just been called "Sid and Courtney Love"?
Gary Oldman is astonishing (I can't believe this he's the guy who played Dracula for Coppola!), and I really love the music, but I simply didn't like spending time around these people. I recently watched "The Filth and the Fury," a documentary about the Pistols and their antics, and I found this flick much less engaging. I've never understood Sid and Nancy's parasitic *need* for each other, and this movie did nothing to enlighten me.
The performances and music make this a marginal 'recommend", but not by much.
