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.

It plants resonant doubts.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 11, 2010

The film is as much about who killed Sid Vicious as who killed Nancy Spungen, but an enthralling and touching story all around.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 2, 2010

Fails as a detective story, but it does offer an entertaining look at the punk scene in the 1970s.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 30, 2010

Cares less about investigating a death than about vindicating an accused killer.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2010

Documentary about the death of Nancy Spungen raises more questions than it can satisfactorily answer.

| Jul 30, 2010

Despite the presence of Glen Matlock, Steve Dior and a handful of other punk rockers, plus a slew of oblique eyewitness who lurked around before and after the fact, the docu soon bogs down in tiresome minutiae.

| Jul 29, 2010

Simply casting doubts isn't the same as making a compelling counterargument -- or crafting a coherent film.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 28, 2010

Cheesy exploitation punk rock history takes a random path around the mystery of Nancy Spungen's death...

| Original Score: C | Jul 27, 2010

An unnecessary retelling of rock's dingiest "legend" -- ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

| Jul 27, 2010

While Parker may be a sure hand at gathering material, he's pretty much clueless when it comes to shaping his findings into an aesthetically viable product.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 25, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2009

A messy, mildly interesting documentary.

| Feb 12, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2009

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Feb 5, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 5, 2009

It's a shoddy, sensational and unfocused documentary.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 5, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2009
