“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 u0026#39;directedu0026#39; in what to say and how to say it – or if they havenu0026#39;t, then theyu0026#39;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 wasnu0026#39;t the way to do it.”
