Malcolm McLaren’s version of how the Sex Pistols made it big is reportedly a series of half-truths and lies. Viewing it seems to support that claim fully. It appears to be nothing more than his attempt at ret-conning history to elevate his importance. We’ll likely never know for sure, but the end result was the same: McLaren made money and The Sex Pistols made history. Neither of those facts make the film any better, because other than the archive footage of the band it’s a glorified shitfest.
