Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck Movie Review By MDbReviews 

Mike Hale | New York Times

An exhilarating, exhausting, two-hour-plus film, both an artful mosaic and a hammering barrage ...

John Anderson | Wall Street Journal

Mr. Morgen is perhaps the leading revolutionary in American documentary filmmaking, a collagist/synthesist extraordinaire who has channeled Mr. Cobain's physical legacy ... into a work of art completely his own.

Scott Tobias | The Dissolve

Morgen's made an impression of Cobain, which is a much more intuitive and vital enterprise.

Joshua Rothkopf | Time Out

For a mere 27 years, Cobain's life was unusually well documented, often by himself, and the film feels as vivid as The Devil and Daniel Johnston in delivering an artist's tortured interiority.

Sara Stewart | New York Post

As the credits roll, it's hard not to just root for the sensitive, progressive, fiercely creative Cobain and wish that he'd lived long enough to find a little peace of mind.

Alistair Harkness | Scotsman

Though Cobain: Montage of Heck is unlikely to be the last word on the subject - the Nirvana legend is, ironically, far too lucrative now for that - it certainly deserves to be.

Jonathan Romney | Observer [UK]

The argument for Cobain's brilliance never quite convinces until towards the end, with his MTV Unplugged performance, in which a whole new compelling register to his talent emerges - too late for the film, and alas, for the singer himself.

Tara Brady | Irish Times

Montage of Heck has a wonderful handmade feel, not unlike Jonathan Caouette's wonderful 2003 auto-doc, Tarnation.

Full Review

Patrick Smith | Daily Telegraph

Morgen manages to stay clear of hagiography, instead compiling an exhilarating piece of film-making - one that's fully in keeping with Cobain's virtuosity.

Geoffrey Macnab | Independent

The film emphasises Cobain's creativity as well as the work ethic that went alongside his well-chronicled drug use.

Full Review 

Wendy Ide | Times [UK]

The annoying title notwithstanding, Cobain: Montage of Heck does a decent job of capturing the charisma and restless creativity of Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain without getting bogged down in hagiography.
