Summary: Lets you know a bit about events in Kurdt's life...
Review: ... This has no videos, performances, or tracks of Nirvana music. However, getting to know Kurdt through the eyes of friends, neighbors, and (even) enemies of his person is quite interesting. I'm not exactly sure how many people can just listen to others talk in monotone voices about him for 4 hours though. It does well to make people that put down Kurdt and Nirvana for either no reason, or for something that they heard that someone heard about him/them look ridiculous though. The guy at the begining is just to show how many are just ill-informed about Kurdt, and should (maybe) watch the film.

Summary: Not a good way to learn about Nirvana
Review: For as influential a band as Nirvana was, this film does not seem worthy of their greatness. Many major aspects of Nirvana are not covered, including Kurt's drug problems, the post-Nevermind relationship of the band, and his relationship with Courtney. Furthermore, the documentary contains no actual Nirvana songs. It insults Nirvana fans by having other groups performing their music during the film. If you are just learning about Nirvana, this is not an accurate depiction. Instead I would reccomend "Live, Tonight, Sold Out" which is not on DVD yet but seems to capture Kurt's vision. "Heavier than Heaven" by Charles Cross is also an excellent resource to really learn about the man behind the music. Overall this DVD is a brief glimpse of some random Nirvana facts that really big fans may find somewhat amusing. Other than that I can think of no appropriate audience for this terrible documentary.

Summary: Very informational, but boring at best
Review: Great source of Nirvana's lesser-known history, but all in all, this could not grab my attention to save it's soul. It seems like something we are forced to watch in school. If you are into informational videos, or just a total Nirvana FANATIC, sure, go buy this DVD, but like I said, you most probably won't like it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: recommend but
Review: I think that this is a fairly good documentary but it also does get very boring if you watch it all the through. What it lacked was there was no Nirvana music in the dvd.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible
Review: I'm the biggest Nirvana fan ever and this DVD is terrible. There is none of Nirvana's music,and the people being interviewed didn't even know Kurt Cobain. They're just Seattle junkies. Save your money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your time and money
Review: If it was possible, I wouldn't have given this film any stars. I bought this DVD and now I wish I hadn't. No actual Nirvana music, and only about 5 minutes of actual Nirvana footage. The interviews are of people who only live in Aberdeen. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not even worth it for $16!
Review: It was not a good start...the first words were that "this video contains no actual music by Nirvana". It turns out to be a bunch of lame interviews with people who apparently were worth interviewing to someone involved in the making of this disappointing piece...why don't they release "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" on DVD??????? That's at least done by Kurt himself and has music/performances!
