It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley

Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (Janis: Little Girl Blue, Deliver Us from Evil), It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley 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.

As part of the theatrical release of It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, Magnolia Pictures will proudly present 26 minutes of exclusive, remastered footage from a rare solo performance at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, filmed on February 19, 1994. This previously unreleased set will screen immediately following the film, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a rare opportunity to experience Jeff Buckley’s raw, unfiltered brilliance.

Total runtime, including bonus footage, is 135 minutes.

"I defy you to see It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley and not fall in love with Jeff Buckley’s voice. By the time the film is over, you want to find a way to go back and rescue him to let him live the life he should have."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"Focusing in on Buckley’s teenage years, the doc captures the development of not only a true artist, but a gifted performer who saw music as both a form of expression and a universal language that can reach deep into the soul... Every clip of Buckley performing lifts the film off the ground, highlighting how his talents often felt otherworldly."
Harrison Richlin, IndieWire
