A self-destructive punk rocker struggles with sobriety while trying to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success.

Review

GenerationofSwine

This is more along the lines of "What if Courtney Love fronted Bikini Kill...and Bikini Kill was still good despite her presence?" It's not a bad movie for 90s punk nostalgia. And it's not a bad movie to depict the punk scene at all. I think, honestly, that a lot of the negativity comes because the star is too close to a Courtney Love type to actually be someone people can tolerate to watch...and that is fair. I can't condemn that. But, from my take, I liked the concept and the execution. So I can't criticize it, even if it meant watching Love at her 90s lowest for the duration of the film and absolutely hated it now just as much as I did then. And, since that is what I believe everyone involved was going for, I have to say it was a good film. It's just a good film that is a hard watch and for obvious reasons.
