I thought this film was good and bad. I think Van Sant should have taken the film in another direction instead of the lost, reclusive, and broken soul of "blake" downward spiraling to his death. The character of "blake" was outstanding in a portrayal physically of Cobain and the repro's of the greenhouse and the final scene of the SPD at the residence investigating the scene was also well done. And who can't help but notice these details even down to the Tom Moore cigar box. But I dont agree with the portrayal of "Blakes" mental state. This obviously is a guess given if you believe what happened at the conclusion of the film really in fact happened. The good thing is we never see Blake kill himself so that is really left open to interpretation. I think the "gone in the head" mental state of the character was overdone and i agree with others who say the film was drawn out with some dull moments that took up a lot of film time and really had no point, but overall I would say the effort was good and the film ok...it was watchable, but to Cobain fans and especially those skeptical of the suicide verdict it may be a bit hard to swallow. Overall not terrible.
