Ok, I finally saw this movie, To anyone who doubted Penn Badgley he was pretty fantastic in the role, I'm not kidding. Honestly, I went into the movie thinking ''he's gonna murder everything I love about JB'' but, gave a genuinely stellar performance, I was blown away. I hope he gets a least a Golden Globe nomination or something. It was very good acting and a great voice too!

Jeff's music and history deserves to be told in a movie where he is the main plot, he was too great to be related, even with his dad.

Penn dis a wonderful job. Maybe you guys dont know jeff. This was a pivotal moment in jeff life. He never wanted to sing, due to his father. He only wanted to be known as a guitar player. He wanted to be a jimmy page. This concert he did turned his life around. Without this concert jeff never would have affected all of us. Jeff was the biggest thing in my life. I am not one to like these types of movies they usually screw it up. But this was quite good. Not 10 out of 10 of at least someone knows how important jeff buckley was.

this makes me sad, Jeff Buckley is so much more than a movie.

Badgley did a brilliant job and has a stellar voice. I'm the most die hard Buckley fan I know so my words are worth their weight.. To me.

Dan Humphrey you knew your father don't lie.

I have to say I think the record store scene was amazing. Later on the train, the girl tells him the story about seeing this performer who says about it, that 'every moment of every day is this, the performance is no different" and that jeff has that. The record store scene is just a total testiment to the way jeff could just naturally perform without it being a performance.That & the story about the boy with windsheild wiper eyes were the best scenes for me.

Judging by the trailer this movie seems ridiculous and Jeff Buckley surely would laugh at it. It's like none of them really payed attention to the soul he really was.

Imogen and Penn have one of the best chemistry's I have seen on film! Love this movie. Penn was cast flawlessly. He really looks like Jeff, especially some angles. Imogen looks great with brown hair and her personality shines in this movie! I didn't know about her this was the first movie I saw her in. Didn't even realize she has a British accent.

They really couldn't just make a movie about Jeff himself without putting the whole emphasis on his father. No disrespect to his father, but Jeff's music created a beauty that no movie could ever truly portray, especially when that makes it about daddy issues. RIP Jeff. You deserved better.

The legacy of Tim had a direct effect on his son's formation not only as a performer but as an artist. Nobody's talking about him being "sooooo awesome" (god, you're a moron), what we're saying is that he was a huge influence on a generation of musicians before his son was ever famous.

This film is about Tim's music and Jeff finding his voice. There are original Tim Buckley tracks, in addition to Jann Klose and Penn singing Tim Buckley songs.

i saw this movie a few weeks ago now.. and i thought it was brillant! its a simple film with a haunting feel to it, but penn's voice is really incredible!

Congrats to everyone involved! Excited to be a part of this film.

i really love the concert part..i just wish the performances are much longer..the music is incredible..im satisfied..

been waiting so long for this!

Greetings.

I say they didn't understand him because the film's portrayal of him is a huge trivialization of him. I never met him but I've listened to all of his music and alot of his interviews and have his books. Jeff doesn't lie. So everything you see him doing anything he's 100% real. So I think it's very easy to get to know Jeff without actual meeting him. An incredible scene was the subway scene. Everything about it was great. I just had high expectations for this movie cuz JB is my fav artist

I feel the same way. I think the record store scene was important. He doesn't care if there's anyone starring at him, he's just doing it because that's who he is. The windshield wiper story was so great. It meant nothing, and it was completely random but it really stuck with me after the film was over. It oddly made me feel a little emotional. I think those scenes were the highlights fo the film. I did enjoy the whole concert sequence as well though

I actually was lucky enough to see this at Tribeca and it was really great. very well done obviously fantastic music. really loved it I cried at the end not gonna lie....and i dont cry during movies

I like the mystery about Jeff Buckley. I don't need to know what he did and when... Just that he made beautiful music.

Today I was just thinking JAmes Franco should be playing Jeff, looks like him and a better actor.

Looks like typical "season" movie without a soul, that you forget on next day.

Ugh. I haven't seen the movie but I'm already disappointed. I know he put in a lot of effort with the singing voice but he didn't even try to affect his speaking voice or any of his mannerisms. I was such a huge fan girl when I was in high school and I've watched so many interviews that it just seemed glaringly obvious to me that this was Penn Badgley pretending to be Jeff Buckley rather than being taken away believing he WAS Jeff.

I just finished watching the film. The music was handled very well. I think many people will be pleasantly surprised. My advice is to give it a shot.

that's weird cause i was just watching 6 years and thought ben rosenfield looks so much a like dan and then bam turns out they have a movie where they're supposed father and son

im glad the life of Jeff Buckley is being acknowledged

I loved it!

I was literally thinking they should make a movie about Jeff Buckley. I'll give Penn Badgley a chance, he could be good. They don't always need to be the doppleganger of whoever they're playing anyways...

This movie is my favourite ever although i've seen different kind of movies that I can't even remember .. Maybe this, one cuz I have a huge crush on music ( talking here about Tim Buckley ) Movie is prescribed for anyone that has even though a little interest in music ( real music )

I like this direction.

I do think that out of all Penn's Gossip Girl counterparts, he has the potential to really go the distance with his acting career. There's always one breakout star from every TV show and I think he is the one to look out for

I dont care what anyone says I loved this move!!

really wanna see this movie now :)

Jeff deserves this. hopefully is a good movie.

Thats good to here!

this looks good.

I watched an interview where he talked about how he purposely didn't alter his speaking voice too much. His voice is like an octative lower but he decided that people would hate if he mimicked him that way. So he spoke softer but not as high as Jeff. He said people would think he was an ass if he went that far.

Looks cool.

WOAH cant wait! I liked the parts with baby Jeff!

I need to see this movie he looks like a Vampire.

Jeff Buckley is sacred, I honestly don't think anyone could do him justice. I kind of feel for the people who made this movie, they tried.... but you can't represent someone so unique without it coming off as corny or false.

Hey! its the "other tucker" :p

I don't think they were saying that 'Grace' was really made then. There were no lyrics, they didn't write it down. They were just jamming and alluding to the fact that later down the road Jeff and Gary will create 'Grace'. It was a homage that I enjoyed.

also Penn covers 'Lilac Wine' as a homage to Jeff near the end.

I respect that. I just think other people might have other ideas about who he was, The people that started writing this are also huge Jeff Buckley and Tim Buckley fans and they probably think they know him well also.

Let's it go

I love penn🥴

Aahha ok! Thank you so much :-)

Lobster Todd plays Jeff Buckley... O.O ????

idk, it's hard to tell from a two minute trailer, but he just looks like any other actor playing a role. I feel like if they're going to portray a musician like Jeff, they really need to embody him, if that makes sense (kinda like Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Line), and they REALLY need to sell it when he sings (which can't be easy at all). I don't see this with him. But like I said, hard to judge just from the trailer.

This movie takes place during -91, Jeff sadly dies 6 years later.

Hooo IMOGEN POOTS! Love her! :)

I feel like the trailer is way easier to follow and more concise than the movie

Cool story bro

@Dory Jackson @SaraCookieMonster Both Leighton and Ed have 3 or 4 movies coming out in 2014 with great cast and in all of them they're the protagonists.

Aaahhhh I don't know much about Tim Buckley But I will definitely do my research and then go watch the movie :-) I am definitely watching this movie even though I don't know much it still looks good. :-) Penn Badgley is fantastic

I think its gonna be good. I could be wrong. But its never fair to judge without watching first.

Reeve Carney should've done Jeffs role.

James Franco has been announced to be portraying Buckley in "Mystery White Boy" which is being made now

The story is really good, but I hated what Penn Badgley did to Jeff.
