Why the hell is Gary Oldman so damn hot in almost everything he does? Even when he's depicting the junkie Sid Vicious.

It's sort of hard to believe I've never watched this movie until now. I've known all about the Sid & Nancy "love" story for years and years and while watching the film really didn't shed any new light on the situation it was interesting to see the story play out in front of me, especially when re-enacted by two fine actors.

I'm sure you can find one hundred tumblers dedicated to the movie or the actual tumultuous duo and while these young fans are sporting their Hot Topic threads and black eye shadow they're doing nothing more than glamorizing a couple of talentless drug addicts, one who was possibly schizophrenic and the other, a horrible bass player who got by on his punk "style" alone.

It's sloppy. Largely without structure. Highly repetitive. Fairly grating. Loud. Jarring. Without much rhyme or reason.

And utterly beautiful.

Anchored by terrific work by Chloe Webb and a Gary Oldman performance that is truly some of the most powerful acting I have ever seen, Sid & Nancy is a raw and powerful love letter to two of the most reprehensible and wonderful people to ever fall into the public eye.

Alex Cox's direction is incredible at times, and head-scratching at others...but Gary Oldman's utterly jaw-dropping portrayal of Sid Vicious held my attention the entire way. Simply amazing acting.

I watched this when I was younger, so it was nice to revisit. It has been one of my favourite movies since I was younger. I got into the Sex Pistols around 12, well I got into punk rock in general around that age. Works not only has a great biopic but a great period piece as well. Gary Oldman is fantastic in this movie, he had Sid down to a key.

Have just realised I forgot to review this when I watched it. It's a very powerful recounting of the ill-fated love between Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, with Gary Oldman playing his socks off in his role.

My wife and I saw this in Manhattan with Andy Warhol in the audience.

gary oldman is the best

Strong performance by Oldman but the movie has some really boring parts. And it focuses more on the fighting and drug abuse than their relationship and how it effected Sid's career. Great music though.

This movie sucks and those two are crazy. It's too long and you end up just getting more and more irritated by the characters.

I love Gary Oldman. I love The Sex Pistols. I love Alex Cox' "Repo Man". This, however, is a piece of shit film. It's not even funny in a comic book character type of way. I firmly recommend watching the superb Sex Pistols documentary named "The Filth and The Fury" instead of this muck. In this film, everything's supposed to be shocking war, and all the subtleties and genius of the actual group are lost. I can't even begin to list what's wrong with this film: how Nancy Spungen/Sid Vicious/John Lydon/Malcolm McLaren is portrayed/acted/written? How the soundtrack is by some cover band? That the script seems to be a draft written by a 7-year-old?

Gary Oldman is incredible in this film but in what movie is he not? I wanted to like this movie more but I felt that Chloe Webb brought it down, she was really annoying and overacted in most of her scenes. I loved Alex Cox's direction, being a fan of Repo Man I knew going into this that he had a unique vision and it shows in this film. It is a dark and disturbing film of two lovers going off the deep end in drugs.
