Pete B This one hits hard. It’s raw, sometimes uncomfortable, but also really intimate. The animation sequences are such a cool touch, and you really feel like you’re inside Cobain’s head at times. Not always an easy watch, but definitely powerful. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Martijn t This is a sort of authorized documentary - Cobain's daughter Frances is an executive producer - so Morgen had access to a lot of Cobain's personal notebooks, video and recordings, both personal and music. He uses a lot of them, sometimes aided by great animations by Hisko Hulsing (Undone). However, although Morgen has access to all of Nirvana's music and uses a lot of it (a good thing), the focus of the documentary is completely on 'Kurt Cobain, mental health patient'. The only band member that in the documentary is Krist Novoselic, but he never gets to talk about Cobain's artistic process. All of Nirvana's success is discusses in terms chart positions and crowd size, never on artistic merits. After watching this documentary you wouldn't even know Nirvana's debut album is called Bleach. Worse is that the line between 'intimate' and 'voyeuristic' got crossed several times for me. Morgen just shows very intimate diary writings and home video for the emotional effect, even though he also makes clear that if there is one thing Cobain hated, it was journalists digging in his private life. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Oaklee D A decent documentary. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Gabriel O Um filme documentário que retrata perfeitamente toda a vida agitada e curta de Kurt Cobain, um filme muito bem dirigido e produzido, músicas colocadas nos momentos certos, trilha sonora de arrepiar, uma edição muito bem feita, um estilo de filme prosseguindo de maneira fora do convencional mas muito interessante, sem contar as cenas de animação extremamente bem feitas, uma bela homenagem ao icônico cantor. Nota: 94/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Audience Member That was quite a ride. I liked it a lot. Sometimes this film tries to not only show how Cobain felt in a particular moment, but also it tries to make feel in the same way he did. I think that's very cool. If you are interested in Nirvana and therefore Cobain, give it a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member No documentary about a musical artist in recent memory has ever felt so visceral, so angry, so tragic.
