  Maybe worth a look... if you're patient etc!
  
  Admittedly this IS a hard film to watch, mainly due to its very, very slow pace and bleakness.
  
  I gave this 3 stars because it does have a couple of ... read more »

  Last Days...of van sants reputation!
  
  Appalling. A truly truly dreadful piece of nonsensical tripe. A bumbling, shambling inaudible frontman (though i get it, that was kinda the idea)....just ... read more »

  Strange, yet in a way poignant.
  
  One thing that is true about Van Sant films, is that they are profound yet so strange. Elephant is a perfect example of an amazing film, in the end it has you ... read more »

  More for fans of Gus Van Sant than Nirvana
  
  I guess a lot of Nirvana fans were disappointed with this because while it's inspired by Kurt Cobain there's no real discussion of why he died or ... read more »

  As a slow (SLOW) paced film, I'm not surprised if it disappointed most of the Nirvana fans the marketing campaign would have attracted. Hell, I saw adverts ... read more »
