    Movie Review | Matt | 18th November 2012

    When, midway through this documentary, Courtney Love unapologetically states that Hole is HER band, there aren’t many that could disagree. She's the frontwoman, the songwriter, the headline-maker and the celebrity relationship-er. So while this film documents drummer Patty Schemel's struggle with drug addiction, you can't help but feel that her main role in rock 'n' roll history has been as a first-hand witness to events more important and interesting than her own story. As such, you really need to be a fan of the band - and not just of the grunge era in general - to really get anything out of this film.
