Kurt and Courtney tells the sad story of the suicide of Kurdt Cobain in 1994. From the word go the film seems to take a negative stance on Cobain's easy-to-hate widow Courtney Love. The film is only partially informative in that most of the people interviewed are either biased against Love, or barely know Kurdt Cobain, or both. Where are interviews with members of Nirvana? His mother and father? His sister? Love herself? The only interviewee that seems realistically affected by this is with Kurt's aunt. Possibly if the filmmaker had gotten a more balanced view of the events leading up to Cobain's death, he wouldn't have had the project crushed and pressured to death by love. still it's worth a view if you like nirvana. And you have to laugh at all the hangers on trying to milk fifteen minutes of fame from a dead rock icon.
