Dennis Harvey Variety 07/02/2015
The inclination to dismiss this as fanciful conspiracy theorizing is here countered by the testimonies of various experts, certain that the Seattle police really bungled their investigation. Go to Full Review

By the time Wecht declares that this is a death that simply has to be reinvestigated, even a viewer with no special attachment to Cobain's legacy is likely to agree. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
This is a bad film, filled with awkward reenactments, poorly designed graphics, scripted interview segments, ominous music and enough jumping to conclusions that I'm surprised someone didn't throw out their back. Go to Full Review
Kurt Loder Reason Online 06/19/2015
The story is still provocative, but the director has nothing new to add to it. Go to Full Review

If you're a rabid Cobain murder theorist, "Soaked in Bleach" will undoubtedly reconfirm all of your beliefs on the subject. If you're also certain that Cobain killed himself, I doubt that there's anything here to truly convince you otherwise. Go to Full Review

...even if Soaked in Bleach's message landed on sympathetic ears, the film makes curious decisions that distract from their central thesis. Go to Full Review

Wade N @RT60195318 3d Rottentomatoes gave this a score of 30%? Seriously? For anyone to dismiss this film, they're either not very bright or they fear being labeled a "conspiracy theorist". This was a professional production. It flows smoothly. They had a good cast. The story is gripping and delivers more than enough compelling evidence to blow your mind and make you realize that Kurt was probably murdered and Courtney may very well have planned the whole thing. I realize established movie critics and people in the entertainment industry aren't in the best position to be able to say what they really think about this subject, as it could potentially cause problems for them. As for me though... 2 thumbs up. See more Jamie O @RT41639244 Apr 3 Damn!!! Completely evidence based. Follow the money… See more Ceres T @Cc55589 Dec 20 I want the truth. You can't handle the truth! Worth a watch! See more Jon W @Watchdown101 08/24/2023 This movie makes some interesting ideas about Cobain and his death. it is entertainment and is meant to make us talk and question Courtney love and the police. to some degree, even i at some point in the film i thought that he may have been murdered, no one knows what truly happened to Kurt Cobain, it is fun to make films, and guess it seems. in the end, we get little new info on what may of occurred that day but any fan of Cobain's will find this worth a watch if just for the curiosity factor. See more Rachel C @RT54694775 08/03/2021 I feel bad I watched this. Enough is enough. See more 06/12/2021 It doesn't take long to figure out that something is off with this doc. The short scripted scenes, the way the editing is done, and the choice of music, seem to be blatantly designed to raise the viewer's suspicions. I have to admit that I was quite shocked by some of the claims made in this documentary. So shocked, that I had to fact check some of the statements. Needless to say, this documentary has been heavily criticized. Even the experts interviewed in this documentary, have since spoken out against it. I wish I could say that you should still watch this documentary with an open mind, but after having seen just how little actual evidence there is for this conspiracy theory, I cannot honestly recommend that anyone should watch it :/ See more Read all reviews
