Review: This is a great in depth look into Kurt Cobain's life and his battle against his inner demons. Its the only documentary that has comments from his family and his wife, Courtney Love. It doesn't describe how he took his own life or show the events that happened before the shooting because the director wanted to concentrate on the happy moments of his life, which is different from many other documentaries. There is a lot of footage of him as a child and with Kurt & Love alone in there house and it documents there newborn baby which shows the happier times for the couple. The many drawings which are shown throughout the movie, documented Cobain's troubled frame of mind and how his battle with fame really affected his life. I would have liked to have seen interviews from the band members and how they dealt with Cobain's mood swings because it must have been hard to hold a band together when the lead singer is hooked on heroin, with a self destructive attitude. Anyway, it's a very well put together biopic about a complex entertainer who blew up in the music world. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: After seeing a lot of Nirvana DVD's, it's great to finally see a movie which documents his life in true form. The director had access to all of the things he left behind, which included footage of him as a child, many drawings and footage of him with his wife and child, so it's very real and touching in parts. You can't help feeling that it's just a waste of excellent talent, but he really lost the battle against the demons in his mind, at the young age of 27. There hasn't been a rock star, or band, of that calibre since he took his life in April, 1994 but the drummer, Dave Grohl, who isn't in this movie, has become extremely popular with his band the Foo Fighters. Anyway, if your a fan of there music, then this is definitely worth a watch because you really do get to see Kurt Cobain in a different light.
I recommend this movie to people who are into their biopics about Kurt Cobain and his fight against his inner demons whilst becoming famous in the music world. 7/10
