Soaked in Bleach Trailers

Twenty years ago, Kurt Cobain was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound to the head. The world was told it was a suicide, but evidence would lead many people to believe it might be otherwise. The film investigates the possibilities that exist that Kurt Cobain's death might not have been a suicide, that the Seattle Police Department rushed their verdict, and the global media perpetuated lies and misinformation fed to them by Courtney Love that created the belief in many that Cobain killed himself—but when revealed to be lies—lead many to now question what happened.

Reviews
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
catcar-01003 I didn't know much about Kurt Cobain because I never liked that type of music. Courtney I knew more from her interviews. Always thought that she was just getting a bad rap because of the misogyny in our culture. But after watching some interviews with Kurt, reading some documents on how he died, nothing made sense. I mean, parts of what the media are saying are laughable. It is clear he was murdered if you know anything about how heroin works or firing shotguns. After Googling to see if others were onto this, I came across the movie Soaked in Bleach! Yes, it confirmed all the suspicions I had and more. Especially haunting is hearing Coutney's own voice on tape. She is so clearly a sociopath, and I have gone from totally supporting her to a total 180 in knowing she had Kurt killed and paid a lot of people to help cover it up. I believe the truth will come out eventually. And what did she get for all that money? Sure, it gave her a career, but a brief one at that. Now, she is a rich, homely, drug addict with a washed up career whose face is falling apart from bad plastic surgery. Francis Bean will get all the money in the end, and hopefully with some support and counseling will be able to lead a healthy life. I bet deep down, Frances Bean knows Courtney Love did it too. Kurt seemed like a sensitive, decent bloke who was getting his life together, off the drugs, and rid of Courtney before she killed him and her former bandmate. Seems to be a pattern with Courtney. Maybe karma will give her some of her own medicine.
gagathefirst Just to make clear: Cobain is one of my favorite people i lived among in this planet. This documentary is so bad, is funny. Aesthetically it is awful, no taste at all like a cheap crime tv show, you must really lack talent to make something THAT bad, considering you have all of these exhibits (true of false) and still make this conservative, inhuman piece of work. Putting the horrible photography aside, putting the horrible acting (this is a mean person look the actor, he/she is trying so hard to show you that his/her character is so mean you would understand it even on mute) also aside, the "director" should be ashamed portraying Courtney Love as vicious by using cheap puritanical shots of "people making out in the same room with her" (evil duh?), "her friend touched her in a -probably- erotic way" (a bisexual probably? What a nasty person, duh?), a junkie (as also Kurt,duh?). This is insulting at least and pure stupidity if the director took by the book the descriptions of Mr Grant - who is anyway focused in a purpose, find justice or cash a death, and, you know, i don't really care, because demonizing people through their weaknesses, habits, orientation and other paleolithic, human-hating point of views is pure TRASH and all of people made this should be ashamed. Cobain would spit on this first, even murdered.
bea seung Please, just please explain to me how can a person give 1 star to this documentary? Are you kidding me? This documentary has no BS in it, only facts, audio recordings, real documents, real experts and if you choose to not believe it, well that's YOUR problem, because you are too blind to see what's clearly a murder here. This movie exposes everything on the table, shows you only facts to rely on and it's basically the biggest proof you can have about the real cause of the death of Kurt Cobain. This movie was really well done, with excellent acting and mixes real audio recordings with the voice of the actors. This documentary is as real as it can get, and only a blind person can unsee that. If you want to continue the theory that Kurt Cobain killed himself because you want to hear Nirvana songs more depressingly or you just like Courtney Love too much, then don't even watch this documentary so you can say it's not worth the watch. If you really want to know the real reason Kurt Cobain died, then this movie is for you. We CAN'T let this pass through our eyes, Kurt Cobain deserved a better life, he was a beautiful human and he should have justice, especially when he's blamed for his own death. This film is really good and I hope it can bring justice.
chokinvictim I have always heard the Cobain murder theories. While I found them interesting and deep down wished it was true, the information I found was always so all over the place I did not really follow up reading up on it. This film puts it all down, with actual audio recordings from Grants interactions with Courtney and others linked to Kurt.The experts that give their opinions on the investigation and how it was handled by Seattle PD are very fascinating. These don't appear to be a bunch of wackos with tin foil hats, these are legit experts in the fields of forensics, homicide investigation, and police procedure.This was very eye opening to me and as a Nirvana fan since 92' very sad in a way. This film puts the pieces together and it is hard to ignore the evidence presented. I do not know why critics are crapping all over this.
