It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley is a reminder of the beauty of what he was looking for, and why his loss still reverberates so many years after his death.
Feb 1, 2025
Every clip of Buckley performing lifts the film off the ground, highlighting how his talents often felt otherworldly.
By Harrison Richlin FULL REVIEW
Jan 28, 2025
Buckley hasn’t had a million portraits sketched of him, much less to this degree. The singularity of It’s Never Over, along with the access and the candor, makes up for a lot here.
Aug 7, 2025
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.
Aug 4, 2025
The film is a resonant depiction of the gaping holes left by Jeff Buckley’s untimely death.
Aug 12, 2025
Berg’s documentary is at its strongest when it focuses on the musical legacy that Buckley was so concerned about that he would leave behind, and less so when it tries to delve deeper into who Buckley was as a person.
Aug 7, 2025
The documentary doesn't know who Jeff Buckley was. However, it might expose what we are desperate to get from him, long past the time he has anything left to give.
