The film is a chronicle of Courtney Love’s life and trailblazing career as the queen of grunge. Interviewers called Love a trainwreck, bitch, fraud and “Kurt Cobain’s mattress.” For Love, the ability to tell her own story is a long-overdue necessity. Love further invites her viewers to question gender norms when she discusses what raising her child was like with her husband, Kurt Cobain. Love reports that this forced her into a position to fulfill caregiver roles for both her child and husband. Courtney Love’s story is that of taking back a privilege which women and girls are seldom granted — the freedom to be disliked.
