Average Rating:4.6/10

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

An account that didn’t alter my belief that, of all the rock stars who have died young, the Sex Pistols’ bassist-cum-mascot is the least interesting.

A messy, mildly interesting documentary.

It's a sad story: but more rigorous detective work could have been done.

More than just third hand testimonials from desperate liggers, Parker paints a portrait of the murky side of punk.

For an exposé very little is actually revealed, but as a neon-lit trawl through '70s New York, it's worth a look.

Parker’s film feels clouded by his obvious posthumous adoration of the enigmatic Sid. His witnesses are less than credible and his argument feels fumbled.

A very watchable but frustratingly inconclusive investigation into a classic punk whodunit.

It’s a shoddy, sensational and unfocused documentary.

Who Killed Nancy? is most engrossing when it settles into a comfortable VH1 Behind the Music groove, complete with artsy animation and low-budget recreations.

We get too little Sid here – not a smidgeon of his great rendering of “My way” – and too many partial “witnesses” who insist Sid couldn’t have done the crime.
