Get as close as one could get to Jeff without knowing him – It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley – here’s where and when to watch it.
Almost 30 years after his sudden passing, Jeff Buckley’s music still feels like it could stop you in your tracks.
Now, his story comes alive on the big screen with the acclaimed documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, hits cinemas across Australia and New Zealand from Thursday, 30 April 2026.
Amy Berg’s documentary offers an intimate portrait of the late singer-songwriter, blending unseen archival footage with candid interviews from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, bandmates Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and collaborators like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann.
It’s a glimpse at the man behind the otherworldly voice, exploring the joy, the pain, and the creative brilliance that made Buckley one of the ’90s most unforgettable artists.
Australian fans, who first fell for Grace during Buckley’s 1995–96 tours, will recognise the magic: the album reached the ARIA Top 10, went eight-times platinum, and cemented his enduring legacy Down Under.
The documentary release coincides with the 30th anniversary of his first Australian tour–a timely tribute to a musician who never really left.
