Need to have the right mindset
I must admit that the largest reason that I had wanted to see this movie was because it was based off of the life of Kurt Cobain. I rented it and watched it, and the first time I saw it I honestly thought it was the worst movie in my life. The dialogue was seldom and monotonous, I didn't understand any of the characters and the plot was iffy.I began to take another look at it while watching the special features and I realized that this movie really did have its merits. What I though once was a monotonous voyage into the seas of boredom turned into the swirling downfall into the abyss of insanity.The problem with the movie was that it gave me the idea that this movie was about Kurt Cobain, because the way he dressed, the way he mumbled his words, and of course the caption that said, "Inspired by Kurt Cobain". So everything I saw I was comparing to Kurt Cobain, I though Cobain didn't do that, or this or whatever.What this movie really had going for it was the cinematography, the dialogue, and the occasional music. The cinematography was good since it would occasionally move off center, and that made you feel like you were there, trying to turn your head from the problem, but to no avail. The Dialogue was good because it seemed casual, and wasn't a big part of the movie. It was as if they weren't paying any attention to Blake.My favorite was the small performances that Blake would do. They focused more on feedback, which gave it the feel of angst and confusion.To sum things up it's a good movie with amazing visuals, dialogue, and ambiance. However the movie was built around the life of Kurt Cobain. If they hadn't attached his name to the movie I think I would've enjoyed it more. Just remember that the main character is not Kurt Cobain, and aside from looking like him has nothing in common with him. If you look at it through that perspective I think you will enjoy this movie more.
