Reception

edit

The documentary was watched by an audience of 30,000 when it debuted on Sky Arts in 2012.[5] A review by Impulse Gamer stated, "The quality of the release is varying, being taken from multiple sources and the attitude toward Nirvana, which differs from adulation through to anger at the death of Kurt and the general thoughts about the band".[6]

edit

All Apologies: Kurt Cobain 10 Years On is not to be confused with the similarly named documentary Kurt Cobain: 10 Years Later which was filmed by MTV Europe in 2004 but did not air because of copyrights of Nirvana's music that featured in it.[7]
