PARK CITY, UTAH Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Antiheroine, which premiered Tuesday at the Sundance Film Festival, is an unflinching portrait of the unapologetic Courtney Love. Love let filmmakers Edward Lovelace and James Hall into her London home where she opened up about her past and wrote new music.
Love shows pages of journals she wrote throughout her life and reads from some in her own voice. She owns any of her past volatility but also sets the record straight.
She shares the sexual assault incident that inspired a song. She narrates archival footage of the formation of Hole and her early performances.
What most people probably come to Antiheroine to learn about is her marriage to Kurt Cobain. This section shows sincere love and sensitivity on both their parts.
Throughout the film Love alludes to accusations that she killed him. This is unfair to anyone let alone someone with a loved one dealing with suicidal ideation.
