It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley ❤️
Can't recommend enough!. I discovered his music as a teen and entered obsession levels in my late teens/early 20s.. there was no place on the internet or a photo or a bootleg that I had not gotten my hands on and then I studied all of these gems over and over until I knew by heart the entire career of this man lol. I always wanted them to make a movie and kind of resented his mom for gatekeeping and being so litigious about his legacy but now that I've matured, I'm so thankful for that because this documentary is so lovely and well-made and both a proper introduction for those who don't know his music and the answer to many questions + wild assumptions longtime fans such as myself had. I've read most biographies about his life and they all exploit his connection with his father and the way he died and often imply it was a suicide. I'm glad they took nearly 30 years to make this because it's way more layered than that and with more knowledge of mental health now, I guess one can assume it was really an accident that could've been avoided had he not been.. manic.
Also, I've never seen a crowd at a theater so uninterested in leaving when the credits start rolling. They all stayed just to listen the 4 songs that followed the end of the documentary, and I think some people were shedding a tear or two like me. I feel like most fans feel this weird longing towards his music, and at least in my case, frustration that we'll never know all he could've done in music..
