Who Killed Nancy? Reviews

It plants resonant doubts.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 11, 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

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

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

It's a shoddy, sensational and unfocused documentary.

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

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.
