IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY

Before his untimely death in 1997, rising star Jeff Buckley had released just one album, but his talent was undeniable and his spirit was irresistible. Now, the depth of his legacy is explored through never-before-seen footage, rare voice messages, and testimonials from friends and loved ones. Amy Berg (JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS) crafts a deeply compassionate and lyrical portrait of the legendary musician, offering a view into the inner world of an artist who burned brightly and briefly. Berg balances the tragedy of Buckley’s sudden loss with moments of joy, love, and artistic discovery, letting his memory and music—including footage of haunting live performances—resonate. Like his music, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY is tender, searching, and full of life.
