Pros: Interesting and odd assortment of people. Cons: Are they for real??
Seven reasons Courtney Love scares me, and should scare you, too:
1. She aspired to meet Michael Stipe as a stepping-stone for being famous (and she did, too.)
2. She has a tendency to wear smeary-red lipstick.

Pros: Some nice old footage of Cobain. Watching Broomfield be manipulated is good as well. Cons: An insult to good documentary filmmakers everywhere, as well as Nirvana and Hole fans.
If Kurt and Courtney was anything but a documentary, it might be decent entertainment. There’s certainly some memorable characters:
1. The ambitious girl, making notes for herself as a child to “be friends with Michael Stipe,” and...

Pros: Interesting perspective of Kurt's life, some entertaining characters Cons: Crappy music, shoddy interviews
This documentary isn't an entire waste of time, but it comes close. I had tickets to see this at the Sundance festival, but Courtney Love went to court to have it stopped. I believe it ended up being shown once, and not for the date I had tickets for....

Pros: It's a great source of information on filmmaker Nick Broomfield Cons: It's a meager source of information on Cobain and/or Love
On the subject of Courtney Love I am deeply conflicted. I admire her moxie, her toughness, her proclivity to call a spade a spade. This is, after all, a woman who went to the Grammys last February and justifiably spent the rest of the night disparaging...

Pros: Great never before seen footage of Kurt Cobain before + with Nirvana! Cons: 95 minutes, a little long/little boring at times
Are you looking for a controversial documentary on one of the decades most important rock-and-roll icons and inventor of grunge music? Then this movie is what you are looking for, focusing on Kurt Cobain and his life before and during his life with...

Pros: Sometimes entertainingly awful. Cons: Usually just awful.
Let me start with a confession: I think Courtney love sucks. Whether it's Old Dirty Courtney or the new clean model, I see a huge ego with little talent and no integrity. So when I heard about Nick Broomfield's new documentary "Kurt and...

Pros: Cool interviews and info Cons: Nothing really new as far as information goes, no music or live footage, no interviews with Kurt and Courtney
Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of both Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. I thought that this documentary would be really intersting as it is about two artists that I've always loved.
I was wrong though. Although this video was alright...

Pros: AMAZING MOVIE Cons: Nick Broomfield is a bit weird
Whether you think so or not, I think this is a decent film for a hardcore Nirvana fan and expert like myself. Call me naive, or an individual with little experience rating journalism, but the truth is you don't know squat. I was a journalism major in ...

Pros: Good information Cons: Kind of long
Have any of you seen the Kurt and Courtney documentary? Well, if your a Kurt Cobain fan this is the movie for you. Before I saw that movie I had the same generallization as everyone else... that Kurt was another victim of celebrity suicide. Needless...

Pros: has Cobain's earliest recordings, good interviews with people close to Cobain Cons: poorly done, ridiculous accusations toward Courtney Love
A while back I saw the documentary entitled, "Kurt and Courtney", which was done by Nick Broomfield. Around the time that this documentary was released, there was much controversy surrounding the release of it, particularly fueled by Courtney...

Pros: great first-hand interviews, very enlightening Cons: no Nirvana music
I'm as much a Nirvana fan as the next guy. I think Kurt Cobain was one of the greatest, most influencial song-writers in the latter half of the 20th century. That's why I wanted to see this movie, to maybe try and see what happened there, and why a...

Pros: Great Views, New Info. Straight to the point. Cons: Could have been organized better.
A 95 minute documentary,made by Nick Broomfield, this film was based upon the murder of Kurt Cobain. Cobain was the Singer/Songwriter for the grunge band Nirvana. I think that the film "Kurt and Courtney" was an overall great film. It gives the...

Pros: Background info on Kurts early years Cons: Largely boring and pointless
First of all, this film doesn't prove anything. If anything it raises even more questions. I must admit I enjoyed parts of it, as I am a huge Kurt fan, but the implication that Courtney killed Kurt is largely unfounded. That nonsense aside, it was...

Pros: waste of money Cons: waste of money
this movie is the biggest pack of lies and waste of time i think i have ever encountered. It basically endorces theories read off the back of cereal boxs' and serves as a vehicle to dehumanize and soil courtney love's name. two british men made this...

Pros: many pictures, never before seen art Cons: i wouldve liked to see more of Kurt's band members
I recently rented this video after spending about an hour at our nearest Blockbuster. I have always been a big fan of Kurt's band Nirvana, ever since the beginning and i was really hurt and confused after his death. I rented the video to learn more...
