The rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love's seminal rock band, Hole. Given a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole's infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen... until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The torturous tale of a remarkable survivor of the grunge era - the troubled but talented drummer for Courtney Love's band, Hole.
– Gene Stout,
Seattle Times,
24 May 2012
rotten:
Choppy camerawork, sloppy editing, and lack of a coherent narrative structure make for a frustrating viewing experience.

rotten:
Ebersole pieces things together in a workmanlike way, but the tacky supertitles and camera effects often create a bit of an amateur feel.
– David Malitz,
Washington Post,

fresh:
Patty Schemel "lived through this." Once you witness what that "this" was, feel free to follow that up with a "wow."
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
4 May 2012
fresh:
An absorbing, educational, sad, humorous and ultimately uplifting film that is easily accessible and entertaining even for those not familiar with the grunge rock scene, or with the considerable role that Schemel played in that milieu.
