5.0 out of 5 stars I disagree, this movie is great, December 21, 2004

By

This review is from: Vigil [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is full of great one liners about several different things, including the troubles of being vegetarian in arrogant meat-eating America. It also talks about how stupid society is, and how everyone is just conforming to it. You actually can very easily relate to the actors in this movie, unless maybe you are a materialistic yuppy. The conversations and arguments between the friends are very believable, and remind me much of my friends and I discussing how horrible the music industry is. This movie is definitely worth seeing, and to me definitely worth buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Cobain Con, July 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Vigil [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie I thought was terrible! It clearly useing the love for Kurt Cobain & the sadness of his death to get people to spend big money to see what all the fuss is about, when there is nothing!
I was soooooo disapointed in thisd movie. The plot was terrible & so un orginal.
Kids going to the Kurt Cobain vigil in Seattle! wow! how cool!
NOT!
Okay for all you wondering about this, they don't even get to the vigil, at the end, the long awaited part you have wasted your time on watching this video, is useless.
They get to Seattle (coming from Vancouver) the day after , and nothing is going on, make you feel in the same place you are now? What's the diffrence between the day after the vigil and today? Nothing!
And the bad lighting & terrible actors in this film really is annoying. Like you cannot even relate with this actors cause the whoever filmed this movie forgot to turn the lights on apprently! You cannot even see anyhting!
The cover for the video is soo corny too! Cobain rules! Yeah You can totally find those stickers all over eBay can't you? ( sarcasim)
I mean who eles would rent this movie beside some Kurt fan right?
I would definaly not recommend it & don't see why is so highly price & rare...
If you must see it, its not worth it as I tell you now, try some independant video renting stores, thats where I found mine. I am pretty sure they have it.
So once again, another person making money off Kurt Cobain, I am surprised Courtney did not stop this terrible, terrible film.

This review is from: The Vigil (for Kurt Cobain) (DVD)

Great movie that gave off a bit of a Kevin Smith vibe. The reviewer below, who reviewed it poorly did not seem to understand the point of the movie, kurt Cobain is just a subplot. The movie gives a great view of "Generation X" and is very funny as well with great acting from the entire cast.
