Antiheroine

Synopsis

Singer, songwriter, and actor Courtney Love has long had an impact on rock and pop culture. Now sober and set to release new music for the first time in over a decade, Courtney is ready to reveal her story, unfiltered and unapologetic.

Reflecting on the process of recording her new album, Courtney Love said, “Don’t do it until you can’t hold it in anymore.” That same ethos fuels Antiheroine, directed by Edward Lovelace and James Hall, who embrace the complexity, intensity, and unapologetic force Love embodies. These qualities helped make her an icon, but they also came with relentless scrutiny and impossible expectations.

The film revisits the “love at first sound” connection between Love and Kurt Cobain — a relationship defined less by its length than by its extraordinary emotional voltage. It also traces the creative drive that led her to music and an electrifying film career, revealing a deepening self-awareness along the way. After years of watching others tell her story, Antiheroine marks the moment Courtney Love speaks entirely on her own terms — loud and clear.
