Films like Cobain: Montage of Heck.

Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) reads as Heavy, steady, measured documentary / music, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
