After rocker Kurt Cobain's death, ruled a suicide, a film crew arrives in Seattle to make a documentary. Director Nick Broomfield talks to lots of people: Cobain's aunt who provides home movies and recordings, the estranged father of Cobain's widow Courtney Love, an L.A. private investigator who worked for Love, a nanny for Kurt and Courtney's child, friends and lovers of both, and others. Although Love won't talk to him and his inquiries lose him financial backing, he comes to believe the coroner's verdict. Portraits emerge: a shy, slight Kurt, weary of touring, embarrassed by fame, hooked on heroin; an out-going Courtney, dramatic, controlling, moving from groupie to star.
Leave your thoughts about Kurt & Courtney.
| VarietyDennis HarveyIn the end, too, we've learned very little about Cobain's demons --- his alleged chronic stomach pains from stress, etc. --- or why he, and Nirvana, became so important to so many people |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsKurt and Courtney is extraordinary, a compelling insight into an anarchic, drug-frenzied world of music, power and fame, and the results are provocative and at times chilling. |
| Empire MagazineAndrew CollinsHaunting, bleak, tragic, occasionally unintentionally funny, Kurt And Courtney makes a mockery of TV documentaries where slick editing creates only artifice. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Broomfield doesn't ultimately prove, or even believe, that Mr. Cobain died under incriminating circumstances. But he makes it wrenchingly clear why the world in which he lived had become impossible to bear. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThis patchwork portrait is hard to look away from, partly because it exposes how one man rationalizes the dirty job of being a documentary filmmaker. |
| People MagazineLeah RozenThe movie isn't so much about Kurt or Courtney as it is about shabby lives in the shadow of fame. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordI didn't learn too much about Cobain, but got a fascinating insight into the mind of Love. |
| Patrick NabarroPJ NabarroThe 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 |
| CNN.comPaul TataraTurns 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. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawLucky for Broomfield that his subject is such a wild and provocative one. |
