Who Killed Nancy (2009)

A documentary that asks whether or not it was Sid Vicious that killed Nancy Spungen, his girlfriend at the time. It explores that for about 10 minutes and then goes into the story of the bass player’s life before, during and after his time with the Sex Pistols, only really returning to the question presented in the last 10 – 15 minutes.
It’s an interesting story if you’re a fan of the band, even if it skirts around the issue most of the time. I feared it would descend into sensationalism, but mostly it didn't, unlike the media coverage at the time.
