It would be difficult to make an uninteresting documentary on this subject, but this really could have been much better than it is. Part of the problem is that a lot of the contributors seem to have been 'directed' in what to say and how to say it - or if they haven't, then they've all seen too many rockumentaries and seem keen to play (or overplay) their part. This all gives it a rather clichéd and reverential feel, which, given the oft-stated observations about Nirvana being rebellious and iconoclastic seems ironic and ultimately counter-productive. If the film makers wanted to give a sense of the fresh air and iconoclasm that the band allegedly brought, then using stale tropes and clichéd techniques wasn't the way to do it.

This is an absolutely brilliant documentary with lots of great behind-the-scenes footage that really makes you feel nostalgic for the time that Nirvana were around.
