Cobain: Montage of Heck - 2015 - 5/10
Quirky bio-pic of happy-go-lucky — oops, wait a minute!
“Authorized documentary” of the troubled musician.
Primarily told from talking heads, with little challenging or fact-checking.

Kurt’s wife repeatedly assures that she never cheated on Kurt.
Who is not here?
Grohl, Vig, any honcho from Geffen or UNI, fellow grunge band members, the word “grunge” period, Seattle.
“History is written by the victors.”
