Good movie but grossly overrated

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

"Who killed Kurt...?" Every time someone dies, an intriguing conspiracy theory arises from the ashes. I only saw this movie recently, and not knowing what to expect, let me say if you are looking for definitive answers about the death of Cobain, well you won't find them here. Kurt's death was very tragic, but even his Aunt claims the whole conspiracy theory is a load of bunk and it is clear to me that his addiction and depression killed him. Neither Dave Grohl nor Krist Novoselic are featured throughout the movie but I was impressed how director Nick Broomfield handled it. He exposes the hypocrisy of Hollywood and manages to dig some pure oddballs out of the woodwork. Fans of Courtney Love are likely to despise this movie, she get ripped into and the disdain for her is evident throughout. My final view is that it's interesting but sometimes flawed and proves again that there is no definitive movie on Cobain.

This is a disturbing documentary, but definitely worth seeing. A lot of the characters are strange and freaky, but then the lifestyle of the Cobains was strange and freaky. Some people say the oddballs interviewed in this movie have no credibility, but I disagree. I don't think they have the brains to make up the stuff they say happened.I think the El Duce character was telling the truth. It's a little TOO coincidental that he was killed in an "accident" shortly after making his claim that Courtney Love offered to pay him to kill Kurt.Kurt is shown briefly in the movie and seems heartbreakingly sweet.But this movie mainly concentrates on Courtney Love. And she comes across as mentally unbalanced, deceitful, capable of anything. She's a horror story. One of the people interviewed who knew both Kurt and Courtney said she thought he killed himself to get away from her. I'd buy that! At one point, Love's father is interviewed. He said he hadn't spoken to Courtney lately, but her mother had. He said Courtney had told her that "she was getting married." Who to, he's asked. "Edward Norton", he replied. I know Love and Edward Norton used to "date." What the hell was HE thinking? Courtney Love did NOT want this movie to be released and tried to prevent it from happening. It's easy to understand why; it portrays her honestly. And she does NOT want people to know what a monster she really is.Rent it!

This movie is a must watch for anyone who would like to believe that Kurt was killed by a wife who just loved him for his money. As a Nirvana and a Kurt Cobain fan i'd like to believe that Kurt Killed himself over his own choosing. This movie as sad as it is offers some sad info that is hard to turn down. Nick Broomfield does bring a solid case to the table about reason's Courtney may have wanted Kurt dead. With interviews with Courtney's hateful dad and the Cobains old nanny it is easy to get taken along by this movie. This movie is a great but watch but it is easy to forget the great music Kurt Cobain made and focus on the situation surrounding his death. This movie is not how Kurt Cobain should be remembered. He should be remembered for the great person he was and the beautiful, timeless music he created.

Having done a lot of research before watching this documentary, particularly on Kurt's death, I was almost convinced that Courtney had someone kill him -the suicide letter is NOT a suicide letter and someone has added the last 3 lines.- Anyways, Kurt was in a good phase at that point of his life: he just wanted to leave Courtney and Nirvana. There's a lot of clues supporting the fact that this was a murder and not a suicide, BUT the movie only shed light to a couple of them + wasted a lot of time interviewing random ppl, that had nothing to do with the whole thing, like Amy. Also, the director presents this medical evidence that someone can take double the doses that Kurt did, and still stand on one leg!!!that's ridiculous!! the doses was 3 times the lethal doses, and the evidence he presents has to do with swallowing methadone, and not injecting heroine! all in all, i would say that the movie doesn't have a clear view on anything. It just left me feeling depressed and sad that the Kobain case is and will always be closed, and Courtney is not and never will be where she deserves: IN JAIL!!
