I'm not a huge fan of Nirvana. I am, however, a huge fan of Kurt Cobain. I first watched this movie because I was starting to get into some more Nirvana songs, and Kurt intrigued me. It started out with a lot of emotion, but I spent basically the entire film wanting to see pictures and video of Kurt. Part of what makes this movie so artistic is the fact that there are none. You do, however, hear plenty of Cobain's voice, not in music, but in talking. About his life. You learn about his days as a rambunctious little kid and in elementary school, to when his life started to suck. It's actually a very emotional film.
When I first finished the movie, I was depressed for a couple days because I had seriously considered suicide many times from the time I was seven or eight years old, and I didn't like the movie. Over the next couple of days, the movie really sank in, and I realized what a great character Cobain was, and what an artsy film Kurt Cobain: About a Son is. It really gives you as much detail about Cobain's life as you could ask for. I'm not the first one to say this, but it really does make you "feel like you are Kurt Cobain."
If you are into Nirvana or Kurt Cobain, absolutely check this movie out. If you're not, this 8/10 rating does not apply to you.
