Don’t be put off by the fact that it isn’t a Hole album, and doesn’t have any of the polish of Celebrity Skin or the zeitgeist perfection of Live Through This. It’s highly imperfect, rough around the edges, but it’s as quintessentially Courtney Love as anything she’s done: Raw, unapologetic about it’s flaws, doesn’t give a fu about living up to any one else's standards, subversive, empowering and self-destructive at the same time, self deprecatory but shameless, dismissed by many who just don’t get it but remaining mythical and iconic, always teetering between glory and the gutter, always on the precipice of triumph and malignement. All the paradoxes that make Courtney Love and her work so singular, so endlessly fascinating, so refreshing, and ultimately, grunge to it’s core.

a thoroughly comprehensive chronicling of the Oxycontin epidemic, with a gripping view from the micro grass roots level looking at personal individual stories to the macro level of the US justice system struggling to hold the big pharma perpetrators accountable. The cast is flawless and there’s a specially impressive performance from Michael Keaton as an upstanding community doctor descending into the ugly face of the grips of addictions himself.
