Reviews

Moveable Fest

Stephen Saito

While "Greetings from Tim Buckley" is consistently more modest, it is nonetheless bound to inspire imitators to sing the next time they pull the Buckleys' albums from shelves.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

Dennis Schwartz

Uneven but engrossing biopic on 1960s folk singer Tim Buckley.

Full of songs from both Buckleys, the film, directed by Daniel Algrant, underplays the daddy-issue cliches while also staying away from a typical biopic structure- after all, it ends before Jeff Buckley even got famous.

It's a quiet movie of small rewards, made by a whole lot of talented people taking a risk and pulling it off with humble aplomb.

Rip It Up

David 'Mad Dog' Bradley

The atmosphere of Algrant's film is detached, as though filmed underwater, which is fitting for Buckley's mood.
