The appeal for this film is that, although it?s not based on the actual events of the last few days of Cobain?s life, it was at least inspired by them and therefore seemed an interesting topic to me.
Here?s where it all goes horribly wrong. The DVD cover describes the film as...( read more)
Ever wanted to watch paint dry on film? That's how this "movie" feels. We follow around this drugged up musician, who is reminiscent of the late Kurt Cobain, without being entirely accurate as far as his last days are concerned. So we follow him run through the forest, take a pis...( read more)
It's Gus Van Sant. There's not much I can do. Although it could be a lot better, still has the amazing Van Sant signature. And Michael Pitt is simply brilliant.
I found it excruciatingly painful to watch, nothing happens, extremely slow paced, we get it the guy is lonely, depressed. Pitt mumbles his lines to a point where he is unable to communicate with the audience, the whole film feels like it is superior to everything else..it is not...( read more)
Probably my favorite of Van Sant's death trilogy, it is a very easy flowing and peaceful experience. What I love about it the most is the realism. You lose yourself in the character and it's not just a movie with actors anymore, but a very tangible and human set characters. The s...( read more)
The plot was quite dry, but it was Gus Van Sant...got what I mean?
Extremely dark, sinister, and sad. I loved the visuals and the religious symbolism. I know most people aren't going to like this, but I really liked it and I though Michael Pitt's performance as Kurt Cobain was excellent.
[Van Sant's] journey is labored but undeniably hypnotic. full review
Nor, on the other hand, is his film in the business of sanctification. It merely hints that some people, gifted or otherwise, may have had enough. full review
The story, told with little dialogue or action, feels like an outline awaiting shading and detail. full review
Seamlessly and rather cleverly, without telling anybody, Gus Van Sant has transitioned out of important filmmaking and has taken up a new career in torture. full review
embraces an avant-garde aesthetic concerned with finding truth through non-linear storytelling and a focus on environmental tone and texture full review
Last Days is unconventional and artistic but also ponderous. full review
Although I hate giving unconstructive criticism I must say this was a Crock of S**T.
i reali tout diz movie wud b bettr.. still i am a big kurt fan so... bt i dont belive he killed himself der are facts dat point d finger at cortney i belive she hired someone 2 kill em .. she did do dis b4 bt didnt sucsed...
sad..i hate the part where blake(kurts character)is talking 2 himself it shoes us just how messed up and lobely he was thoses last few days of his sad life. I like the way that Gus Van Sant let us in on what the last few days of our idol may have been like. I was moved by the sensitivity surrounding the actual death of blake(kurt) as it showed the respect towards his death. Loved Lukas Haas pictation of kurt it was a perfect role which he played perfectly i loved how real the movoe was not holly wood at all but real and emotional. I liked the wee tribute to Kurt Life at the end of the movie where it had the simpe few lines reading "Kurt Cobain 1967-1994 rest in peace" was wonderful. wasnt a real tear jerker as i knew in my heart that it wasnt Kurt but still a very rel and moving piece of art and it doesnt sugar coat Kurt Coabins life at all. Shows the real and true depth of Kurt depression, herion addict and struglgle to find his oplace ina societl which only saw huim as a musicain.XX
honestly...i didn't really like this movie..i think they should of showed him BEFORE..then after drugs and stuff.It really made Kurt...look..idk..he's an idol to me..his music is awesome, and the lyrics are awesome.i just didnt like the movie.
I recommend taking the time and patience to go through and block every user that didn't like this film, 'cuz, well there's really no point liking them, is there?
