“A sympathetic, urgent look at a life cut tragically short”
Why You Should See This Film
Despite the innumerable box sets and "live" material albums pumped out after Buckley's death, his surviving family has kept a tight reign on any filmmaking attempts to explore his legacy- so it's heartening to see that It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley doesn't gloss over the traumatic years of his early life and how it affected him even after fame. Berg delicately handles the unprecedented access she's been given with tact, and what emerges is a portrait of a mercurial and sensitive person who left too soon.
