"It's the closest thing to having Kurt tell his own story in his own words -- by his own aesthetic, his own perception of the world," she says. "It paints a portrait of a man attempting to cope with being a human."
Frances admits that she isn't the biggest Nirvana fan -- she prefers bands like Mercury Rev, Oasis and Brian Jonestown Massacre -- but there are a few songs by her father's band that she particularly likes.
"'Territorial P***ings' is a f**king great song," she says. "And 'Dumb' -- I cry every time I hear that song. It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself -- of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation."
In watching Montage of Heck, Frances has noticed similarities between her and her father -- she says his voice reminds her of her own. Those similarities haven't escaped the notice of Kurt's Nirvana band mates, either.
"Dave [Grohl], Krist [Novoselic] and Pat [Smear] came over to a house where I was living," Frances remembers. "It was the first time [the ex-Nirvana members] had been together in a long time. And they had what I call the "K. C. Jeebies," which is when they see me, they see Kurt. They look at me, and you can see they're looking at a ghost."
In addition to the interview, Rolling Stone released a clip from Montage of Heck, featuring a previously unheard Kurt Cobain original, which is now streaming at RollingStone.com.
Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck will hit select theaters in the U.S. on April 24. The film will air on HBO May 4.
