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.
