Most important for Morgen is that Cobain’s daughter, Frances, is happy with the film. When they first met, he recalls: “Before I could get two words out of my mouth Frances started telling me what she thought the film should be, and it was the exact movie that I was about to pitch to her.” Now 22, she was just short of two years old when her father died, so she has no memories of him. “You gave me a couple of hours with my dad I never had,” she told Morgen after seeing the film. Similarly, Love told him: “It’s as close as I’ve got to him in 20 years.” Morgen’s voice wavers when he talks about Frances. “She hadn’t seen any of [the material]: she had never seen a letter, not a frame of footage. She wasn’t aware of its existence.”
