Courtney Love documentary to premiere next year
The film is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2026.
A new Courtney Love documentary, Antiheroine, is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, taking place January 22 to February 1, 2026, in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah.
"Singer, songwriter, and actor Courtney Love has long had an impact on rock and pop culture," reads a synopsis. "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."
The feature is directed by Edward Lovelace and James Hall, who worked on the 2014 film The Possibilities Are Endless, which followed singer Edwyn Collins during his recovery from a stroke.
“Courtney has waited a long time to tell her story, in her own words, and it’s deeply important to all of us at Dorothy St Pictures that strong, female-forward stories find the audiences they deserve," producer Julia Nottingham, known for the recent Victoria Beckham Netflix series and the 2023 documentary Pamela: A Love Story, told Variety.
“As a child of the '90s, I was always curious about Courtney, a woman who often appeared to be defined by her husband Kurt Cobain. We made this film because Courtney’s story is bigger than the headlines. It’s raw, complicated, and deeply human," she continued.
A number of musicians have contributed to the film, including Michael Stipe, Melissa Auf der Maur, Eric Erlandson, Billie Joe Armstrong, Patty Schemel and Butch Walker.
The former Hole frontwoman rose to prominence with the group's 1991 debut album Pretty on the Inside. Love earned a Golden Globe nomination in the late 1990s for her performance in The People Vs. Larry Flynt, alongside Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton.
