Just about everyone intimately involved with the Sex Pistols has disowned this film. In this film she's just a very nasty series of dull, obvious tropes. The real Sid fell in love with a real human being, a flawed one to be sure, but the kind of junkie a lot of us could fall for. Nancy was smarter than this film gives credit for (yes even though she was a junkie), with more charisma too and if they had written her that way it would make for a better film. None of that is shown here, so that ability for junkies to convince others they are clean, or kind or honest is obliterated. She was also quite charming, in fact, if you know junkie culture, you know that charm, deadly psychotic charm is a key way to survive and support your habit. The truth is Nancy was much more physically beautiful than this film wishes to admit. You never believe the love story, because quite frankly Nancy isn't really written as a human being, just a series of tropes about junkies and that awful idea that women are shrews that stifle men's creativity. She is therefore not only unlikable but wholly uninteresting. It fails at this too, mostly because Nancy is written out pure spite and misogyny. Fine, but so then what we are left with is a basic love story. So we can forgive it for being a wholly inaccurate of Sid Vicious' life. The personalities of key people are wrong, some characters just made up, rather sloppily too. The details are all wrong, the key incidents of the band and Sid's involvement with them are way off. If you do, the film will fall flat for you.

In 1962, Nancy was merely 11 years old when lasting from October 16th - 28th, the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest that the United States and the Soviet Union came to nuclear war. The Amendment was both a reaction to the 4 term Roosevelt presidency and also the recognition of a long-standing tradition in American politics.
