I thought this was an excellent little piece, and this is some of the most honest portrayal of Kurt Cobain you'll ever hear on audio tapes of actual interviews conducted a year before his death. This is not your average documentary and you will not see any clips of Nirvana or really even any pictures or footage of Kurt at all except for a grand total of maybe 2 minutes of short footage of some photographs taken from a few live performances and a few photo shoots. Besides that it is nothing but locations relevant to his life in Washington, mainly Aberdeen, Olympia and Seattle, the main places he's lived in in the 3 main periods of his life. I found this utterly fascinating and personally I loved the footage of city streets, random everyday people from those cities that Kurt spent his life in, gorgeous views of vistas, cityscapes and other such eye candy to free your mind and let Kurt do all the talking. It never once gets boring despite a great deal of the footage being nothing interesting at all, some parts showing a part of Washington state that is dull, lifeless and depressing, but ultimately it all shows insight into why Kurt became the person he became and gives you images to go with the subjects Kurt is speaking of. I really cannot agree with the negative reviews of this film and I loved it. I am a huge Nirvana fan and I find Kurt Cobain utterly fascinating granted, but I am not a biased fan at all. This is a very very honest portrayal of Kurt Cobain. You might not even like him much when the movie is over. He can be quite depressing and a tragic figure to listen to, but one thing is for sure, he always had something interesting to say and never sugarcoated anything and always spoke from the heart. This is a true look at the real Kurt Cobain in his own words and for that, I commend it highly. My only complaint is that I wish it could have been a bit longer and I wish that there could have been a more complete in-depth analysis of his life as a lot of things were skipped over.

Even though it's just a bunch of videos and images shown with the recordings of Kurt's interviews, it gives a perspective about the early years of his life, heard from his own lips with pictures of places trying to make you visualize what it was like to live through what he was talking about.

During the height of his career as the singer/songwriter for Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) was heralded as being a spokesman of Generation X. Cobain is also considered to be one of the most influential musicians of alternative rock. This "About A Son" documentary of audio-taped conversations (combined with some relative imagery) offers the viewer a brief glimpse at understanding what Kurt Cobain was all about.

As a fan of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, I Highly recommend checking this film out before (Cobain: Montage of heck) The film is basically an audio book with visuals, I highly recommend giving it a watch!!! Also we don't have Courtney being interviewed so there's no lies or whatever. It's Just Kurt and Michael talking to each other... PERFECT :) The Film is something one would consider to be the perfect Documentary on Kurt Cobain. 10/10.

This is the Kurt Cobain movie that is told by Kurt - his thoughts, his feelings, his words. There actually is no Courtney love involvement at all. Now, because this one is actually unauthorized, it doesn't have any Nirvana songs, or images of Kurt and all the fancy stuff that Montage of Heck has, but this is Kurt Cobain, stripped down, raw and noncommercial. This is the Kurt Cobain documentary that he would have approved of. Montage of Heck is crap in comparison. Everything that they hyped up Montage of Heck to be, is what this film actually delivers as far as content from the man himself. His words. He talks candidly and is open. The images in this film are the images of the Pacific Northwest. The images that Kurt saw on a daily basis in his life. This is a film that sounds like a friend talking. Just talking. No agenda. Just talking. Being honest and real.

I enjoyed these recording of Kurt very much. It gives you a real understanding of how misunderstood Kurt was but also what made him so special. This film goes into Kurts views and how he felt from an out of place kid from Aberdeen to an Iconic rock star that never really wanted to be in the spotlight. A must see or maybe even just listen for any Nirvana fan....Kurt was the definition of " The man who sold the world"

I'm not a huge fan of Nirvana. I am, however, a huge fan of Kurt Cobain. I first watched this movie because I was starting to get into some more Nirvana songs, and Kurt intrigued me. It started out with a lot of emotion, but I spent basically the entire film wanting to see pictures and video of Kurt. Part of what makes this movie so artistic is the fact that there are none. You do, however, hear plenty of Cobain's voice, not in music, but in talking. About his life. You learn about his days as a rambunctious little kid and in elementary school, to when his life started to suck. It's actually a very emotional film. When I first finished the movie, I was depressed for a couple days because I had seriously considered suicide many times from the time I was seven or eight years old, and I didn't like the movie. Over the next couple of days, the movie really sank in, and I realized what a great character Cobain was, and what an artsy film Kurt Cobain: About a Son is. It really gives you as much detail about Cobain's life as you could ask for. I'm not the first one to say this, but it really does make you "feel like you are Kurt Cobain." If you are into Nirvana or Kurt Cobain, absolutely check this movie out. If you're not, this 8/10 rating does not apply to you.

This is actually a pretty touchy and immersive tape interview with Kurt Cobain. From where he comes from, what he dealt with while growing up, where his passion for music started. His involvement with his bandmates and how they got to where they got while dealing with personal issues. And his inner demons and what he is passionate about and etc. It's a fascinating and yet sad coverage of Kurt Cobain from his interviews. I just think instead of random pictures and video clips, it could have had animation and digital animation with Kurt Cobain. If your a fan of Nirvana or Kurt Cobain, this film is worth checking out. Just about everything when it comes to the interviews has been edited almost perfectly in a congruent manner. The main gripe I have about this movie, is that you will probably be better off listening to a CD of this instead of watching a movie of the interview. 6/10
