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.

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