Kurt & Courtney Reviews

Does not seem very unbiased. You are left to draw your own conclusions. But it certainly is an interesting 94 minute watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 15, 2020

Kurt & Courtney wasn't well received upon its release and 20 years later it fares no better.

| Mar 18, 2019

The 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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2019

Turns 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 온라인카지노추천 journalism. "Sleazy" isn't the word for it.

| Feb 9, 2018

Our culture has notoriously short attention spans and memories, but Kurt and Courtney goes a long way toward undoing the meticulous public relations campaign that Love has orchestrated in an effort to whitewash her tarnished image.

| Apr 11, 2014

The true circumstances of Cobain's death remain cloudy, but one comes away from the film unnerved by the distance travelled.

| Apr 11, 2014

Kurt and Courtney is an entertaining swim through the muck of the rock underworld. But as journalism, it's an utterly sloppy piece of work.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2014

We do get a strong sense that Love is a loose cannon with a short fuse. But in a freewheeling documentary about a drug-addled rock-star couple that hardly qualifies as a news flash.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 11, 2014

It would be one mondo bizarro freak show but for the participation of some who clearly cared for the troubled young Cobain.

| Apr 11, 2014

Simply put, the guerrilla filmmaker gives great dish.

| Apr 11, 2014

Broomfield has always employed a blend of charm and innocence to expose the frailties of his subjects. But here that tactic somewhat backfires.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 11, 2014

We're left with only one credible impression of Courtney Love: That she is incredibly ambitious. What a shock!

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 11, 2014

The movie isn't so much about Kurt or Courtney as it is about shabby lives in the shadow of fame.

Full Review | Apr 11, 2014

[Broomfield] relishes portraying [Love] as a hypocrite, who stands up for free speech while attempting to manipulate and intimidate the media at the same time.

| Apr 11, 2014

In the Kurt-and-Courtney relationship, Broomfield has gotten ahold of an engrossing subject. And he pretty much has what it takes to do it justice.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 11, 2014

You know little more about the subject when you leave the theater as when you came in.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2014

Love, in all her contradictory and confrontational glory, is far more compelling than any flimsy conspiracy theory.

| Apr 11, 2014

This is a dirty piece of work, and everyone it touches -- especially audiences -- deserved better.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 11, 2014

Sharp, daring, revealing and often splutteringly funny.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 14, 2013

This patchwork portrait is hard to look away from, partly because it exposes how one man rationalizes the dirty job of being a documentary filmmaker.
