Brett Morgen, 2h 25m
A multimedia mix of Kurt Cobain’s home movies, journal entries, drawings, notebook scrawlings and audio recordings (buffered, naturally, by vintage interview excerpts and concert clips), Brett Morgen’s documentary is more than just a must-see for Nirvana fans. It’s a collective labor of love that offers an unfiltered peek into the singer-songwriter’s mindset, from the first creative stirrings to the spiral downward. By the time it ends with Cobain thanking his Unplugged audience, you feel as if you know the man himself. — Rolling Stone
