Who Killed Nancy?

1/5 stars
Film review by Tyler Parks.
Published 18 February 2009

After seeing Alan G. Parker’s Who Killed Nancy? it seems quite plausible that Sid Vicious did not kill Nancy Spungen. Unfortunately, the evidence of this could have been revealed forcefully in a matter of moments and the rest of the film merely attends to Vicious and Spungen in a way that reiterates what anyone who has seen Sid and Nancy and any of the numerous talking head infested nostalgia-trip films on punk have said time and time again. If anything, the increased focus on the pair through recollections and archive materials makes them not only less likeable but less interesting. However true this may be, it is unlikely that Who Killed Nancy? will lessen the proliferation of Sid images on t-shirts, badges, or baby bibs, though now when we see them we can feel assured they are images of a man who was many things, but probably not a murderer.
