Jeff Buckley, a rising star with an otherworldly voice, left the '90s music world reeling when he died suddenly after the release of his debut album Grace, hauntingly ethereal and one of the most revered albums of the decade. In a tragic accident, Buckley drowned in the Wolf River in Memphis in 1997, leaving behind an unfinished second album and a legion of devastated family, friends and fans. 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, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg crafts an illuminating portrait of one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures who, like his father Tim, passed far too soon.
"By keeping her focus on only a handful of people who could speak directly to Buckley’s history, [Berg] finds what’s most compelling—outside of the music, of course—was his ability to move forward and upend preconceptions at every turn. From building a legacy beyond that of his father’s to being a constant source of light to his mother and others, Buckley may have felt like he wasn’t long for this earth, but through the music he left behind, proved even himself wrong."—Harrison Richlin, IndieWire.
