“The movie is most welcome for its deep bench of performance footage, which brilliantly confirms the breadth of the singer’s influences and sound.”
—Ty Burr, Washington Post
“Most artist documentaries attempt but rarely get to a true and palpable essence of their subjects, but it’s this sense of his earnestly tender nature, pieced together from loved ones and old archive interviews of Buckley, that leaves an impression.”
—Brandon Yu, The New York Times
IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (DELIVER US FROM EVIL, JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS), covers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the ’90s music world reeling when he died suddenly at age 30 after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Grace.
Told through never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother, Mary Guibert; former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser; Jeff’s former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred; and luminaries like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann; IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures.
