Courtney Love is ready to share her story in new documentary, Antiheroine

Antiheroine, directed by Edward Lovelace and James Hall, is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2026, which will take place between 22 January and 1 February in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, before making its final move to Boulder, Colorado, in 2027.

"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," reads the Sundance logline.

Antiheroine is produced by Julia Nottingham, founder of award-winning production company Dorothy St. Pictures. Nottingham is credited for her work on female-fronted features, including docuseries Victoria Beckhamand Pamela: A Love Story. In an article from Variety, Nottingham shares: “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."

“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 continues.

According to Variety, the documentary has long been in the works and follows Love in London, where she moved to from Los Angeles back in 2019. Several musicians have also contributed to the film, including Michael Stipe, Melissa Auf der Maur, Eric Erlandson, Billie Joe Armstrong, Patty Schemel and Butch Walker.
