Synopsis: A controversial documentary on acclaimed musician Kurt Cobain, one of 1990's most important rock-and-roll figures.

A controversial documentary on acclaimed musician Kurt Cobain, one of 1990's most important rock-and-roll figures. Director Broomfield questions his "suicide" and paints a brutal, cold portrait of his wife, Courtney Love, going as far as to pose the scenario that she had him murdered. Love obviously did everything in her power to get this film banned, but it didn't work. Decide for yourself: vicious slander or intriguing enlightenment? [More]

A sloppy, irresponsible, self-promoting p.o.s. that documents little more than people with an axe to grind. Broomfield would be better off writing for the Enquirer.

Unintentionally hilarious, due to Broomfield's complete inability to get access to the people he needs to speak with.

Poorly constructed but with an undercurrent of truth that makes it intriguing

A sloppy but fascinating documentary. Broomfield finds some intriguing characters but doesn't know what "ACLU" stands for.

A sometimes intriguing, sometimes annoying film about the inability to make a proper documentary on its subject.
