Magnolia Pictures has released the official trailer for It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, a new documentary chronicling the life and legacy of the late musician Jeff Buckley.
Directed by Amy Berg (Janis: Little Girl Blue), the film features never-before-seen archival footage and rare interviews with Buckley, and highlights the special women who were integral in the musician’s life, such as his mother.
Berg revealed that she has pursued the project for nearly two decades, initially approaching Buckley’s mother in 2007. She was offered to direct a scripted film, but over time, after exploring the archives which included the musician’s final voicemail to his mother, that it would be better as a documentary.
Last January, the documentary premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It focuses on the musician’s childhood, his rise in the avant-garde scene in New York in the early 1990’s, and the release of his critically acclaimed 1994 debut (and only) studio album, Grace.
The film arrives on HBO Max later this year.

Buckley died in 1997 at age 30, drowning in the Wolf River in Memphis while working on his second album during this time period. The unfinished recordings were later released in 1998 as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. Despite his brief career, his influence on music at large remains Grace widely regarded as a pivotal piece in modern rock history.
