Using old recordings of Cobain's memoirs, his bizarre artwork from all periods of his life, deeply personal camcorder & Super-8 films and beautifully animated sequencs, the film begins with the troubled musician's happier times as a baby then ends with the artist having a baby of his own. What we have here isn't a pic that paints the man as a rock icon but instead turns him into a human being who wasn't ever quite sure what he was doing. He's not always the perfectly innocent tortured artist fans like to believe he is and is quite often a man who did some pretty despicable stuff in his lifetime. It is quite long so glossing over several key moments throughout his life is a bit disappointing but in the end the film still does a beautiful job at painting a disturbingly raw and honest portrait of the man.
