Turns out that the whole movie is wobbly, a slapdash, unsure concoction of hearsay and decrepitness that does for the documentary format what shows like Hard Copy do for TV journalism. "Sleazy" isn't the word for it. Feb 8, 2018 | Full Review…

Our culture has notoriously short attention spans and memories, but Kurt and Courtney goes a long way toward undoing the meticulous public relations campaign that Love has orchestrated in an effort to whitewash her tarnished image. Apr 11, 2014 | Full Review…

The true circumstances of Cobain's death remain cloudy, but one comes away from the film unnerved by the distance travelled. Apr 11, 2014 | Full Review…

Kurt and Courtney is an entertaining swim through the muck of the rock underworld. But as journalism, it's an utterly sloppy piece of work. Apr 11, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

We do get a strong sense that Love is a loose cannon with a short fuse. But in a freewheeling documentary about a drug-addled rock-star couple that hardly qualifies as a news flash. Apr 11, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

It would be one mondo bizarro freak show but for the participation of some who clearly cared for the troubled young Cobain. Apr 11, 2014 | Full Review…

Kurt & Courtney wasn't well received upon its release and 20 years later it fares no better. Mar 18, 2019 | Full Review…

The sheer eccentricity, deprivation and unreliability of the players Broomfield visits imprints that a violent end was an almost inevitable outcome to the Kurt & Courtney tale Jan 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Broomfield has always employed a blend of charm and innocence to expose the frailties of his subjects. But here that tactic somewhat backfires. Apr 11, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
