Who Killed Nancy?

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The titular question remains unanswered. We still don't know after this inconclusive, and shallow investigation into the seedier depths of Punk.

It plants resonant doubts. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 07/30/2010

Fails as a detective story, but it does offer an entertaining look at the punk scene in the 1970s. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 07/30/2010
Documentary about the death of Nancy Spungen raises more questions than it can satisfactorily answer. Go to Full Review Benjamin H. Smith Decider 11/12/2019
While often amateurishly put together, and with an annoyingly loud soundtrack which makes it seem like a music video at times, Who Killed Nancy is still a decent viewing experience for anyone interested in the subject matter. Go to Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics 08/02/2010
7/10
The film is as much about who killed Sid Vicious as who killed Nancy Spungen, but an enthralling and touching story all around. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/15/2018 I can't express how much I love this doc. It was a very nice analysis on the murder, which gets you thinking. See more 08/30/2012 Is more of a documentary about Sid and Nancy's relationship than anything else, but it does indeed raise some interesting and valid concerns about elements of the murder that simply don't add up. See more 01/01/2012 Interesting, but is more about Sid than Nancy, and raises more questions than it answers. See more 04/03/2011 Absolutely convincing, but leaves some sloppy, unanswered questions. See more 03/01/2011 I wasn't really sure what to expect from the film going into it. In the end, there are no definite answers to the question but there are bits of information I'd never heard before which brought up other possibilities other than the standard "Sid did it" response. Based on that, I found it worth watching. There's also some interesting animation throughout. See more 01/31/2011 glad the truth came out. too bad it was 30 years later and only those without voices care. See more Read all reviews
