First 20 minutes you feel sorry for him, but then.....

Tough upbringing as a teen especially, no one wanted him at their home. He bounces from one relative to another, all kicking him out sooner than later. You feel sorry for him, seriously. I'm guessing Dave Grohl didn't participate since the film does not really flatter the departed. And would only beg the question, "Why didn't you see it coming?" "And why didn't you do something?" Who needs that awkwardness from the past coming back up? This flick actually makes Cobain out to be exactly what you think a young major rock star would be like after going from a nobody to really famous overnight.

Some of the footage with Cobain's kid is riveting only because you think something bad is going to happen to the child. It does not paint the parents as responsible very often.

The key lesson is even though someone may really be extra sensitive and hurt by criticism, or by being embarrassed, or by being mocked, etc., when they clearly are on a crash course with an early demise, say f*cking "something" people! No doubt the bass player is haunted by his inaction.

100% sad. You've been warned.
