Set in the mid-1990s, this compelling biographical drama follows a young Penn Badgley as Jeff Buckley as he prepares for a tribute concert honoring his father, the legendary folk musician Tim Buckley, who he barely knew. Struggling with his own identity and the weight of his father’s legacy, Jeff arrives in New York City for the event, where he meets a spirited young woman, played by Imogen Poots, who helps him navigate his tangled emotions. Through haunting flashbacks and intimate rehearsals, the film explores the complex relationship between a son and the father he never had, contrasting Tim’s troubled life with Jeff’s burgeoning musical genius. Directed by Daniel Algrant, this atmospheric drama weaves together the melancholy of unresolved grief with the electrifying promise of artistic discovery. As the concert approaches, Jeff must confront his fears and insecurities, ultimately finding his own voice in the process. With soulful performances and a soundtrack that captures the raw emotion of both Buckleys’ music, this is a poignant meditation on family, fame, and the power of song to heal old wounds.
