Greetings from Tim Buckley plot

Greetings from Tim Buckley follows the story of the days leading up to Jeff Buckley's outstanding 1991 concert in honor of his father at St. Ann's Church. Through a romance with a young woman who works at the concert, he learns to deal with all his feelings for his father who left him - desire, anger, forgiveness and love. Culminating in a cathartic performance of his father's most famous songs, Jeff's debut astonishes audiences and launches his career as one of the greatest young musicians of his time.

As a huge Tim Buckley fan, this film immediately had an advantage for me. And I have to say, at times I was impressed by the way Ben Rosenfield and Penn Badgley portrayed father and son Buckley. However, when Ben opens his mouth to sing, that illusion is immediately shattered.

Fortunately, the film is not primarily about Tim, it is Penn Badgley as son Jeff who has the lead role. And although he sings and plays the guitar quite well, he quickly gets on my nerves. Apparently he has been practicing for a long time on the face of a tormented artist . Constantly, especially when Allie (Imogen Poots) is around him, he looks around with that pained look of: 'Does no one understand how hard it is for me?' That started to bother me as the film progressed.

In terms of content, it is also a boring, weak story that does not captivate me for a moment. It goes nowhere, it does not surprise, it has no tension, no humor, nothing at all. Oh yes, it does: it has the beautiful music of Tim Buckley.

How do you make a film about someone who had an unprecedented talent, but died too early to fully express it. And how do you make a film about his son, for whom exactly the same applies in superlative degree. When there is actually too little wool for a documentary, but enough space to dream about how everything could have been.

This film is a textbook example of how to approach something like that. Badgley convinces as the still searching Jeff Buckley, the music sounds nice, the uncertain and budding romance with the - as far as I know fictional - Allie is endearing. Another rock-solid role by Imogen Poots.
