It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley: A Delicate Portrait of a Musical Icon

Director Amy Berg’s documentary, It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, is already generating buzz as a standout film of 2026. The film explores Buckley’s rise in the early to mid-1990s and his untimely death in 1997. Rather than focusing on the tragic circumstances of his passing, the documentary celebrates his extraordinary talent and delves into the complex familial relationships that shaped his life.

The film distinguishes itself by centering the narratives of the women in Buckley’s life – his mother, Mary Guibert, his long-time girlfriend, and members of his band – offering a unique perspective on the artist. Berg intentionally avoided relying heavily on famous talking heads, creating a more intimate and personal portrayal. Buckley’s death was declared accidental, occurring after he dove into the Wolf River in Tennessee according to NME.
