Alex (Repo Man) Cox’s homage to the punk decadence of Sid Vicious and his ill-fated girlfriend stays fairly true to its subjects. If you really want to sit through an hour and a half of Gary Oldman flopping around in a feigned substance-induced stupor while his bottle blond sidekick whines at him, then this is the flick for you. Seriously, this is an interesting portrait of a time and place in music history (not to mention a bit-part appearance by Courtney Love), but you’ve really got to be in the mood for it. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
