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.

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.

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.

Simply put, the guerrilla filmmaker gives great dish.

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.
