Quotes [getting off the phone with her parents] Nancy : I fucking hate them! Sid : We would! User reviews Review. Top review. Masterful performances by Oldman and Webb. Now that I am twice that age, I love this film for its unflinching portrayal of two people's lives, despite how uncomfortable it makes us, how little we sympathize with them as people, or how hard it is for us to comprehend the choices they made.
I personally believe at least part of the discomfort comes from the fact that at some level, we DO understand Sid and Nancy, their love for each other, and the choices they make beneath the haze of addiction.
I realize, seeing it with adult eyes, why my parents were so shocked I was watching this film in But ironically, it was the best anti-drug message I could have seen in my teenage years.
