My PSI for this movie is 72 lol. There is actually a scene in which Van Sant just holds on a car driving for 2 minutes. Wow, you are such an artist! So many horrible scenes. The first 10 minutes are so laughably bad. Literally consists of a guy walking around and mumbling and I think he swam in a lake and then peed in it, so interesting guys. Maybe he cried too. About as "deep" as Nirvana's music. I'd rather listen to grunge music than have to watch this again. Incredibly terrible.

Joeroxy is pissed off. I really like Kurt Cobain and although he is kind of overhyped I think he's still quite genius. This movie however didn't show at any point parts of Kurt Cobain's life i was even slightly interested in. This was way to much arty farty cinema for me and moreover I was annoyed by 'Blake's (Kurt Cobains's) voice. SPOILER: the last scene with his body ascending direction sky was so hilariously bad.

A lovingly crafted tribute to the legacy of Kurt Cobain, this is also the most polarizing film in the modern Gus Van Sant era. Recalls what being a fan of modern rock music was like during the death of grunge, and portrays this fictional Cobain as raw genius that continues to lose his filter as his pain controls him and his friends take advantage of him. Though his internal sense of humor that keeps him running...

I can see what Van Sant was trying to do here, but it just doesn't work that well. The Cobain-equivalent protagonist isn't convincing enough, the plot just barely escapes tedium, and the underlying drama is a tad TOO subtle.

The Passion of the Kurt. The film makes excellent use of Christ imagery in its provocative attempt to paint the Cobain character as a saint. In this sense, the film portrays the last days from the perspective of a devotee. With its overlapping narratives that fill in one another, the film plays as a series of gospel accounts of his final hours. And to the complaints that nothing happens? Nothing has to happen. Those who know Cobain can fill in where necessary. We believe!

Jesus, leaving your camera rolling with the same shot scene after scene for what feels like an eternity does not make you dive into the mind of a lonely rocker. Its boring! Slow for the sake of being slow giving nothing back to the viewer.

Numerous inexplicably poor directorial choices result in a fairly torturous experience. Little discernible point beyond again portraying an affectless milieu: while GERRY (where Van Sant had the help of other writers) was original and interesting, and ELEPHANT a seemingly genuine attempt to explore difficult questions, in this case there seems almost nothing other than interminable stumbling and mumbling.

This is more than just a movie. This is an insight about a man trying to overcome his depression, loneliness, inner demons and deal with his untimely downfall. It's a shame that this same man, couldn't do all this, and instead he found a new way to conquer his problems. I put my hat off to Van Sant and Pitt. Although a bit pretentious, this is how a movie should be made.

I know I'm gonna sound like a dopey simpleton for saying this, but... I didn't get this film. At all. Halfway through it all I wanted to do was order a pizza, but I was watching it with my boyfriend and he seemed to be into it, so I didn't wanna be that embarrassing person who's all, "THIS IS BOOOORING... WHAT'S THE POOOOOINT???" Still, I couldn't stop thinking about that goddamn pizza...

I do really like the opening moments, just watching Blake stumbling about in a depressed, possibly drug-withdrawal stupor, inaudibly mumbling to himself. It really portrays a very specific type of character, a rich rocker who rejects his status and lives poor in a secluded mansion. But the film introduces elements that oppose this initial greatness, such as mostly dull side characters. And the whole "multiple lives" narrative angle worked so intelligently in Elephant, but is worthless here.

Van Sant knows how to direct these rather empty mood films and that's enough to make it somewhat compelling, but as good a some of the little moments strewn throughout the film are, it's not a particularly complex or insightful whole.

I have to thank Van Sant to try to produce something different. There was two good acustic songs and one in the end. I've never been interested of Kurt or his music or life or any that disoriented kind of people. And this one was a junky kind of madness I hate to see on film.

The thing is, Kurt Cobain was an interested (and talented, I don't give a fuck what the haters say, he was) man. This is not that interesting, and I didn't even feel like it was a great meditation at all. There were a few great scenes (mostly music related), and then a lot of poor scenes. I tend to like movies like this, but there's a movie like Elephant which is like poetry, and then there's this. The few great scenes can't make up for the rest.

Moderately successful in terms of its immersive 'subjectivity' (i.e. placing the viewer in the mind of its character), and it reaches a crescendo in the 'performance' scene, but Van Sant was unable to shape his material into consistently purposeful form, resulting in an abundance of meandering scenes that go absolutely nowhere without conveying much aesthetic significance. Worth a look for Cobain enthusiasts of course.

Very tough film to make, cause there really isnt much there to work with. And it depicted the boring last days. A boring movie, which made perfect sense. If it was anything other than what is was it would probably be completely inaccurate. Good film. Not great.

Talvez o meu estado de espírito ao ver este filme não fosse o melhor, mas achei-o muito pouco interessante. As personagens (incluindo e principalmente o próprio "Blake"/"Cobain") pareciam feitas de papel, as cenas arrastavam-se em situações que parecia mais o típico "encher chouriços" do que outra coisa (até um video completo de Boyz II Men deu). Se considerarmos que isto é inspirado nos últimos dias do Kurt Cobain, ainda mais desinteressante se torna. Grande desilusão.

Van Sant is off the road again. Even when a movie is not talking it might be talking the same shit over and over. A man unable to relate to anyone in different situations. The man plays childish games on his own not even on a child's consistency or interest level. The man loses touch with his survivor animal. Idea is there but it's not much different than watching the last days of a guy in coma.

I can totally respect the balls it takes to make a movie like this. It's different, and a little hard to digest, with tendencies that aren't just anti-biopic, but anti-cinematic. The fact that the protagonist spends virtually the entire movie turned away from the camera, incoherently mumbling to himself is a bold choice. Van Sant lingers on banalities. One could accuse certain other great filmmakers of this (Altman, Cassavetes, Herzog), but here it was tedious, and just didn't push my buttons.

I'm a huge Kurt Cobain fan. I was anxious to check this out and really disappointed when I watched it. There's no story arc. A story is supposed to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is just an end. A very boring end - so, Gus Van Sant (a very good, but overrated filmmaker) didn't even get that right. An end should be climactic. This is an incredibly slow movie with absolutely no structure.

Michael Pitt's quiet, humble desperation fits indelibly with Van Sant's meditative ethnography of the junkie and the artist. While initially finishing this film is a little underwhelming, its haunting imagery manages to slowly crawl under your skin. Plus major kudos are due to Van Sant for the genuinely innovative depiction of a junkie's distorted sense of time.

Van Sant's mythologizing of Cobain is cynical and pessimistic. A portrayal of the man's final days as a pathetic junkie. I think Van Sant feels for his protagonists, with clear sympathy and admiration for "Blake," but he's so hung up on the pain. It imagines Cobain as a man completely detached, an avatar of misery and turmoil. It removes him from his humanity and turns him into this pitiful zombie who can't make cereal.

We got you your pizza, so I don't see what the problem is? A quiet meditation on the life of a man loved and adored by many, yet still so very alone. I think I am going to purchase a copy of this and watch it every day during supper because my girlfriend told me it is her favorite movie and I like to do nice things for her. I hear we might be getting pizza tonight....

A bizarre imagining of what Gus Van Sant thought Kurt Cobain's last days were like. Close to reality? Of course not, and don't think of it that way. But if you're willing to let it unfold, it's an interesting story.

It would have been a lot better had it focused solely on the main guy, I wasn't really interested in the side characters at all and their scenes dragged on the most. I liked how lethargic parts of this were, and at times I felt almost as lost as the protagonist. Too bad that it's so uneven, and other parts feel as if they don't matter as much.
