Jeff Buckley Biopic 'It's Never Over' Trailer Released, US Cinema Release Set for August 2025

other · 2026-04-26

Magnolia Pictures has released the official trailer for 'It's Never Over', a biopic directed by Amy Berg about the late musician Jeff Buckley. The film promises an intimate and visceral narrative, focusing on Buckley's fragility rather than legend, using never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and testimonies from his inner circle. Buckley, who died tragically in 1997 after releasing only one album, 'Grace', is portrayed as an intergenerational icon with awkward charisma, restless sweetness, and wandering elegance. The title is taken from a phrase by Buckley himself, suggesting the emotional and cultural persistence of his voice, which David Bowie once called 'almost supernatural'. The film alternates between immersive concerts, domestic silences, and a psychological portrait that avoids tortured artist stereotypes. 'It's Never Over' is set for US theatrical release on August 8, 2025, followed by a winter debut on HBO and HBO Max. The article was written by Margherita Bordino for Artribune.
