| Rating |  | | Date | March 24, 2005 | | Summary | what a waste | Content
 | This is not a particularly interesting, logical or even memorable documentary, except perhaps to those who harbor some kind of obsession for long-dead Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain and harbor some kind of resentment or anger toward his widow, Courtney Love. The film questions the validity of the finding for suicide in Cobain's case and whether or not Courtney Love bears some or all of the culpability in his death (whether by driving him to suicide or by other more sinister means). No conclusions real conclusions can be drawn from this film except perhaps to find out how not to make a documentary. When sources can be bought for a beer and evidence is shady to non-existent, why bothering questioning? |

| I dont get the negative reviews that all of you are giving this film. It is GOOD. Its not the best, But I give it 5 stars, merely because I like the way he goes through Seattle, and quite frankly I love Seattle, the music, etc. Nick Broomfield's deficit in the directing/filmmaking department is made up by the hilarious and interesting interviews from Courtney's head shaking father, who quite frankly passed his strong willed demeanor onto Courtney, and the fact that 85% of the people interviewed in this film seem to be under the influence of, uh substances... I recommend this, sure its quite mediocre in the way its made, but if you want to get to know Kurt or Courtney, and see how she REALLY is, rent this at your local Blockbuster. Heck, I bought the film. The music from the bands Earth and Theatre of Sheep is amazing, just amazing. There was no album of Theatre of Sheep, but there certainly was of the music from Earth on this film. It was on Pentastar: In the style of demons. And its REAL music. People are recommending Heavier than Heaven, boooooooooooooooo! dont buy that. Its fabricated. I recommend Earth: Pentastar in the Style of Demons |

| This was a very well researched and complete documentary. I give it that much. It also could help a person further develop ideas about Kurt Cobian. The problem with "Kurt and Courtney" is that it is just another presentation of Kurt's Death and how it might have happened along with a brief history of his life. As I said in the title, Kurt Cobain needs to be remembered as he would like to be remembered. There is way too much out there where all people will talk about is his death and the whole mystery behind it. Others claim to be dedicated because they can show off that they have all four Nirvana albums and the two live albums and can shoot off facts about his history. What Kurt would have liked is to have been remembered as a person who had a lot on his mind that he could express and relate in his music, which was a great part in his life, not some legend of the grunge era or a sold out angsty druggie with a guitar. He wouldn't want people dedicating all they know about Nirvana to fact and ownership to display. Kurt Cobain was the greatest symbol of love and the heart of the teenage world there ever was, to my opinion. He was one of the few who wrote how he truly felt inside, and in that way he could reach out and relate to so many teens as one guy who understood. I think it's stupid that the main controversy surrounding him is his death. Sure, it was an issue, but there are more important and deep things out there that he was trying to say. The best way to truly be a fan of this amazing man is to try to see the world from his eyes and listen to what he has to say. In his song "In Bloom" he talks about this, which is another reason I feel this way. I love Kurt Cobain for what he has given to me and many others. I hope he is resting in peace now. It's what he deserves. He deserved better in life. Why does the worst always have to come to the best people? |
