This is among the worst movies I have ever seen.


It's one the most pretentious, in-love-with-itself, disjointed, poorly shot and poorly edited piles of garbage I have ever actually sat through in it's entirety. This does a great disservice to fans of Nirvana in any capacity, and any moviegoer who thought "Hey, 'from the Director of Good Will Hunting' how bad can this be?"

The answer is shockingly, frightfully terrible.

To give you an idea, the majority of the dialogue in the ENTIRE FILM comes by way of an unscripted visit from a guy selling ads in the phone book. The most captivating performance in the movie comes from this non-actor who accidentally stumbled upon this house while the cast and crew were presumably high off their asses on heroin, trying to "recreate the vibe" of Cobain's last days and shooting this piece of crap that wouldn't get a passing grade as a student film.

In fact, I venture that the only way this movie could possibly be enjoyable is ON large doses of opiates.

Avoid.

When it first came out I was writing movie reviews in my college paper. So I saw this one to appease the art crowds. I goddamn trashed it. I got so much hate mail.

They sent letters trying to explain the artistic merit in static shots of a bush for three minutes...I was not convinced.

Thank you for beautifully articulating EXACTLY what I thought about this fevered pile of excrement! The only thing that irritated me as much as this sad excuse for a movie are the pseudo intellectuals who say crap like "you just don't get it" when you express you disgust.

I still remember when I brought this film. I got it at a car-boot sale about a week after it came out on DVD. It was brand new and sealed in cellophane. I couldn't believe I managed to buy it for £2 brand new. I was totally stoked.

Then I got back to my house and watched this film... In reflection the guy should've gave me £2 to watch it. The very next day I listed it on ebay just to get rid of the thing.

Its part of a trilogy of kind of similar films along with Elephant and Gerry. I thought it was a beautiful film, but you do have to be into independent film to enjoy it I guess.

I just always wondered how the guy that made Drugstore Cowboy (one of my all-time favorites) made this mess.

Definitely a non-linear, impressionistic film.

I find it haunting.

You really need to see more movies. I mean a LOT MORE movies.

It's not meant to be completely based on Kurt at all.
