Cobain: Montage of Heck is good for you if…
- you want his own tapes and drawings rather than someone else's version of him.
- you came for Nirvana and the noise behind the records.
- you want the portrait of one person, his family and his marriage, not a tour of the hits.
Cobain: Montage of Heck is bad for you if…
- you can't sit with addiction, depression and an ending you already know is coming.
- over two hours this close to someone's pain is too much for one evening.
