Review of Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) by Juliaharms — 05 May 2015

Even though I wasn't completely objective due to my extremely distain for Courtney as well as a newfound annoyance with Brett Morgan (he just seems a bit too pompous, exhibiting an extremely righteous glee about MOH), I tried my best to watch without too many preconceived notions.

I've read a plethora of glowing reviews, hailing Montage of Heck as sensitive, deeply moving and genius. I disagree.

Montage of Heck was strangely disturbing to me, in a violating kind of way for the lack of better words.

The weird thing is that I cannot pinpoint why I was so **** uncomfortable during most of the movie. Was it Courtney's feeble attempt to deflect attention away from her issues, thus making Kurt the scapegoat in some of the footage, or maybe it was the films general voyeuristic tendency?

I don't know why the movie left such a bad taste in my mouth, something just seemed wrong. I do however support Alice Wheelers reaction/post about Montage of Heck and share very similar feelings about this so called "honest" travesty.
