Cobain: Montage of Heck Movie Reviews
I'm not sure why this is being touted as "the definitive documentary" on Kurdt's life. It basically skims over most of the important events which can be found in more detail in Heavier Than Heaven. Several key players in his life are left out of this documentary completely. There are some unseen videos of him as a small child, but the concert footage is mostly stuff that can be found on previously released Nirvana DVDs. There's also a big deal made of showing us his journals, but his journals were already published in 2002.
And then there's Courtney Love. She isn't mentioned at all until halfway through the documentary, but after that point, she shares most of Kurt's screen time. There are several home videos of them goofing around and being silly together and playing with Frances, which gives the impression that their entire relationship was a bed of roses, even though most of those close to the couple have said the opposite over the years. The only hint this documentary gives of their marital troubles is toward the end when Courtney says Kurt killed himself because she *considered* cheating on him (she doesn't admit to actually doing it). The other big problem here is Kurt's parents. I've never much liked them after reading Come As You Are and Heavier Than Heaven and watching this documentary made me really angry at them. It's clear that they agreed to do this not to help shed light on Kurt's life but to save face and try to bury the fact that they screwed up their son's life in a very big way. I mean, they're more than willing to point the finger at each other, such as when Wendy brings up how emotionally abusive Don was to Kurt or Don pointing out that Wendy "couldn't handle" Kurt but they only tear the other down to make themselves look better.
Oh and don't even get me started on Don's second wife (Kurt's stepmom) Jenny. She's still maintaining her narrative that Kurt was just a bad boy who acted out for no reason even though she was soooooo nice to him. Funny how the director didn't feel it was necessary to include Leland's (Kurt's grandfather) testimony that after Don married Jenny, he showed preferential treatment to Jenny's kids over Kurt, almost as if he was afraid Jenny would leave him like Wendy had. As for Jenny, I have no doubt that she treated her own kids better than Kurt since they were hers after all. The more I look at it, the more MoH seems like a whitewashing campaign launched by Kurt's family to try to absolve themselves of any responsibility for screwing up their child's formative years.
