Rising musician Jeff Buckley had only released one album when he died suddenly in 1997. Now, never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and accounts from those closest to him offer a portrait of the captivating singer.

“The doc captures the development of not only a true artist, but a gifted performer who saw music as both a form of expression and a universal language that can reach deep into the soul…. [Director Amy Berg] finds that despite what many may think, tragedy is the least interesting aspect of her subject. By keeping her focus on only a handful of people who could speak directly to Buckley’s history, she finds what’s most compelling — outside of the music, of course — was his ability to move forward and upend preconceptions at every turn.” —Harrison Richlin, IndieWire
