Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
The film offers evidence that Vicious spent the entire night out cold on barbiturates. It plants resonant doubts. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
Fails as a detective story, but it does offer an entertaining look at the punk scene in the 1970s. Read full review

Time OutDavid Fear
