Boyd van Hoeij
Hollywood Reporter
Cobain is a gentle and thoughtful film that deals with some rough subject matter, and bridging the sensibility and topic are top-notch performances.

Vladan Petkovic
Cineuropa
Every piece pops into place as it should, and all the dramatic beats play out as expected, with the only exception being the absurd direction the story takes.

C.J. Prince
The Cinessential
The film is great at portraying its authentic emotions, but the places they come from can sometimes feel abrupt in this deliberately paced drama.

The Film Stage
A naturalistic portrait of a willful adolescent and his steadfast devotion to the troubled addict he calls mum.
