I’ve been a Hole fan since junior high, so I was very excited to find out there was a documentary that was made about lead singer of Hole, Courtney Love. I actually bought a ticket to the premiere so I wouldn’t miss out on seeing it. (Premieres are very hard, if not impossible, to get into at Sundance)
Antiheroine was made by James Hall and Edward Lovelace. Courtney Love allowed them into her home in London, where she spoke candidly, shared old journal entries, and invited them into the recording studio. (Yes! She is working on new music!)
The documentary chronicles Courtney’s life. From her childhood (her father gave her LSD when she was just 4), to the making of Hole, to her life with Kurt Cobain, to becoming a movie star, and finally to the present day.
This film made me laugh, sing along, and cry. I hope this film helps reshape many people’s opinions of her.
The only bummer was that I was really hoping Courtney would be at the premiere, and sadly she wasn’t.
