Kurt & Courtney Reviews
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.
| 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
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
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.

In 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
Full Review | Mar 26, 2009
[A] funny, angry, provocative film.
| Feb 9, 2006
Unreliable and categorically unfriendly to Love though it is, Kurt & Courtney is thoroughly watchable in a bad car accident, trash 온라인카지노추천 kind of way.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 21, 2001
Haunting, bleak, tragic, occasionally unintentionally funny, Kurt And Courtney makes a mockery of 온라인카지노추천 documentaries where slick editing creates only artifice.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Mr. 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
In all of Broomfield's films, you meet people you can hardly believe exist.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
When Kurt and Courtney veers into speculation and gives voice to bizarre and unreliable witnesses, it reeks of tabloid excess.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
