Hit So Hard

This video has been extremely hard to find for me. I thought for sure it wouldn’t show up but not only did it show up. It’s in great condition. Thank you.

As a fan of both Hole and Patty's i watched this with great excitement, if your a Nirvana fan you will love the never before home footage of a happy Curt and Courtney and the interviews with countless rockers from the early 90s period but this is all back drop to a much more important and interesting story of a woman who caught all the odds to become a hugely respected hard hitting drummer. Respected by her pears as well as the press Patty while fighting a long history of drug and alcohol addiction pushed through and became one of the 90s more polarizing musicians on the scene. All to just get blown away with the now over powering drug addiction that at the hight of her fane found her homeless, living on the streets and panhandling for money for a little crack. How far a person can fall and how amazing a person can climb back to reclaim her rightful place as one of Rock and Rolls best drummers. This documentary has it all an amazing story with great never before footage of the Courtney and curt, you will learn allot about Patty and her world , which just happened to be one with the days biggest stars all of whom seem to not care at all. This is an amazing documentary about an amazing woman that i always had allot of respect as a musician for but now have for as a person.

This is a very well made documentary from a rare perspective. A rare thing on documentaries about people on the art and music scene is actually documenting it without making it feel like it's a promotional or marketing material promoting something, and even with this story being told from the artist herself it's still not filtered and packaged in a specific self-promoting way, in fact the opposite of that, it's very raw, blunt and realistic about how one's life can spiral out of control due to the environment and people that surrounding our lives.The fact that this shows an inside view of some other famous celebrities doesn't affect or change the narrative and focus from Patty's life. It's a bit hard to watch someone this talented telling the intense experiences she went trough but at the same time you can see it's a story about a person making peace with her past, accepting it and moving on.On the technical side, this documentary is very well edited and the pace and flow of how the events were placed is very well thought and follows a narrative in a certain way.

Amazing rare footage, revealing the raw truth, the Cobains were not drug ravaged monsters all the time, and they loved their daughter quite a lot. The bonding of the couple with Patty was a magical time for all three, but once the dominos fell, they fell hard and harshly.Hole has NEVER received the credit it is being the musical genuis band that they arem musically and lyrically. And YES Patty, after hearing the story, you can tell quite well that you are not the drummer on Celebrity Skin. That douchebag producer wanted Courtney at the forefront, but in the end, even though I love that CD too, the passion is missing, it is polished up for the masses.I am happy Patty has come to terms with her exciting life, and is happy where she is these days. One of the very best rock and roll docs I have ever seen.

Great movie about Patty and the Hole team. ;-) Most real footage of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love ever captured. Great footage in the extras of Patty and Melissa Auf Der Maur. And a warning to all musicians: don't ever let some low-life douche bag hired-gun label producer abuse you. Do your takes until YOU like them and tell the producer to piss off. And whether you're in a band or a solo performer, you NEED a good manager (no, not the band's manager, your manager) to run interference and make sure you always get your fair share of credit, royalties, publishing, touring & merchandising revenue, etc., whether or not sick bastards like the producer who f'd over Patty come around.

This is my new fav. documentary! It's so raw and real, I respect Patty so much for doing this. It's so sad what she went threw, drugs can really take over and addiction is no joke. I teared up a bit watching the video clips of Kurt Cobain holding his newborn daughter and other personal clips. I'm a big Nirvana and Hole fan and it was such a treat getting up close and personal. I felt like a fly on the wall, this documentary is like an all access, backstage pass. It's really worth a watch, especially if you are a fan. I'm happy that Pattty completely turned her life around and is doing so well right now.

An interesting film about the origins of Hole. Great nostalgic footage and biographical details but it goes a little too much into Courtney's opinions and gets off topic at times. The footage of Kurt Cobain is fascinating, but the subject seems to want to play up her friendship with Kurt and Courtney .

The story of Patty the drummer's rise to fame and subsequent decent to the gutter (literally) is fascinating. Many interviews with members of Hole, people that were there, other musicians, loved ones and industry insiders. Its a raw and unfiltered portrait made by Patty, though it is a professionally made documentary. Courtney Love's infamous reputation as a disgusting slag is reinforced here by Courtney herself, neither Patty or anyone else says anything negative about anyone else. Recommended.

Aunque el DVD tiene una etiqueta que dice que necesitas un equipo multiregion, lo puedes ver sin problema en los resproductores de blu ray actuales.

Good musician documentary....nice balance of archive footage, interviews with band mates and does not sugar coat her drop to her rock bottom.

Very Happy!! 10/10

Very interesting documentary and yes, it’s a bit self-centered, which is understandable as it’s meant to be like this.Very cool backstage and personal footage.The only thing I disagree is the need to have all the Kurt Cobain references. It takes out some of authenticity to the history, making it seem more like another way of milking Cobain’s cash cow.

A really interesting documentary on the life of Patty Schemel thresher of band Hole. Added to its archive images, interviews of the group, and you have a DVD absolutely top.
