After rocker Kurt Cobain's death, ruled a suicide, a film crew arrives in Seattle to make a documentary. Director Nick Broomfield talks to lots of people.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A messy, probing investigation into the life and death of Kurt Cobain that interrogates the official narrative while capturing the personal toll of sudden fame and addiction. Broomfield's documentary feels less like a settled conclusion and more like a restless questioning.
