Revealing the events behind Kurt Cobain's death as seen through the eyes of Tom Grant, the private investigator hired by Courtney Love in 1994 to track down her missing husband (Kurt Cobain), only days before his deceased body was found at their Seattle home. Cobain's death was ruled as suicide by the police (a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound). However doubts have circulated for over two decades as to the legitimacy of this ruling, especially due to the work of Mr. Grant, a former L.A. County Sheriff's detective, who did his own investigation and determined there was significant empirical and circumstantial evidence to conclude that foul play could very well have occurred. The film develops as a narrative mystery with cinematic re-creations, interviews with key experts and witnesses and the examination of official artefacts from the 1994 case.

Courtney's Perfumed Secrets...? We'll never know.
A fascinating documentary which leaves many questions unanswered. Fact is, we'll never know whether or not Kurt committed suicide or if he was murdered, unless the late, great grunge--meister returns from the dead to set the record straight. There's a lot of "conspiracy theory" nonsense which entertains the viewer. The private investigator who was hired by Kurt's wife, Courtney Love, to search for Kurt after he'd AWOLED from rehab conjures up some pretty plausible suggestions as to why Kurt might have been murdered - the implication being that Courtney herself was complicit in Kurt's demise. Utter nonsense, in my opinion. Courtney was no angel, but...My opinion is that Kurt, from the age of nine, never recovered from his parents' divorce and the fact that no-one wanted him. Christ almighty, as a child, his family fed Kurt Ritalin for his supposed "hyperactivity". Kurt was a gifted, highly sensitive and highly creative individual. Kurt was a genius, an original thinker, and seriously misunderstood; he felt betrayed, isolated and he never felt good enough, no matter how successful he was. Kurt was self-destructive - a certain music critic once said something about Kurt being the only one who'd throw himself from the stage into the audience without judging the situation carefully.Kurt was no poseur - he was the real deal - but he was given to impulsive behaviour, and this and his troubled youth, his heroin addiction and his previous suicide attempts convince this viewer that Kurt Cobain committed suicide that night in Seattle. Long before Kurt "hit the big time" one of his friends said to him: "I wonder what we'll be like when we are thirty?" The teenage Kurt responded: "I'll never be thirty, you know what life is like after thirty." Kurt was true to his word: "Found my nest of salt, everything's my fault... I'll take all the blame, Aqua seafoam shame. I'm married... I'm buried... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." There you have it from the great man himself... nihilism writ-large.

Nirvana fan? It's a must watch
This is a must watch for any Nirvana fan, ex-cop turned PI who was hired by C.Love at the time. I've waited nearly 20 years for him to bring this all out. Facts by the head of Seattle Police at the time plus many others who have called for this to be reopened. Original voice recording's of conversations with C.Love too

Very intelligently put together
Very intelligently put together, seamless bit of film making. It justified every point it raised either with interviews, diagrams or documents. I watched it with someone who was not interested in the conspiracy theory and afterwards I said "Jumped or pushed?". Her instant answer: "Pushed". This makes Courtney Love look terrible, saying she manipulated the media, the police and his friends and family. I love Hole but she comes across as venomous and I dislike the thought that she would have him killed just because she'd get more money from his death than from a divorce. It raises a lot of good points and interesting questions.
