Winner of the Evening Standard Film Award
Best Actor, Andy Serkis

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is the IAN DURY story starring Andy Serkis in the role of the punk legend.  Dury rose from childhood polio victim to the man who put “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” into the English language and lifestyle.  Dury's story proves that if you fight and persevere - you too can be magnificent!

"You'll be wowed by Serkis's performance as Dury - even if, like me, you don't know the first thing about the bloke he's playing." -- Robbie Collin, News of the World

"Andy Serkis delivers a memorably powerful and moving performance as Ian Dury, and is so spot-on that you can barely tell the two men apart." -- Mark Adams, The Mirror

"Andy Serkis, complete with calipers, deadpan vocal intonation and fulminating rage, inhabits Dury to startling effect in this preeminent rock biopic." -- Kevin Maher, The Times

"Andy Serkis has succeeded in another amazing transformation, this time as singer Ian Dury." --Nadia Mendoza, The Sun
