COBAIN

Keizer proves a mesmerizing presence throughout.

Cobain is a gentle and thoughtful film that deals with some rough subject matter, and bridging the sensibility and topic are top-notch performances.

Every piece pops into place as it should, and all the dramatic beats play out as expected, with the only exception being the absurd direction the story takes.

The film is great at portraying its authentic emotions, but the places they come from can sometimes feel abrupt in this deliberately paced drama.
