'About a Son' lets Cobain tell his own story

Nirvana's leader gives one last performance in the documentary "Kurt Cobain: About a Son." Like the Oscar-nominated "Tupac: Resurrection," "About a Son" uses in-depth interviews to allow a dead music icon to tell his own story.
Cobain narrates the tale of his all-too-short life, musing on his successes, loves, letdowns, motivations and depression.
There's surprisingly little of the latter. Cobain doesn't come across as the whiny, glum drug fiend of reputation, but a cool, introspective dynamo who's got it all together.
Cobain breathtakingly spins tales from his youth - he came from a broken home and lived for a time as a drifter. He relives high school ostracism, admitting he fantasized about bringing a gun to school and laying waste to his classmates. For amusement, he allowed others to perceive him as gay. You get a real feel for Cobain as a brash young genius who channeled his insecurities into bleeding-soul grunge rock.
