British documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield (Fetishes, Heidi Fleiss, Hollywood Madam) made this portrait of the late rock-star Kurt Cobain and his widow, musician and actress Courtney Love. Beginning with the 27-year-old Cobain's April 1994 suicide, Broomfield traces Cobain's Aberdeen, Washington, childhood and rise to fame, and the 1992 marriage of Cobain and Love, outlining the drug habits the two shared and exploring various "conspiracy" theories surrounding Cobain's death.

Unenlightening.

Unsatisfying investigation of a sad story

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.

Nick Broomfield, controversially creates the documentary that many others have previously tried to do, looking into the many conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain. I guess it depends on your opinion on the subject as to whether this documentary is intrusive to Courtney Love's personal life or not,
