Sasha Amazing Grace is a solid introduction (made by two Buckley fans) to the most extraordinary singer and musician to come out of the 1990's. The true core of this doc revolves around the talent and allure that creates the kind of artist who influences people rather than just entertains them. The film's narrative is unusual in that it subtly entwines the progression of Buckley's musical career with stories from different artists who describe how Jeff personally inspired them. The time frame focuses on his early years in NYC to his last months in Memphis before he drowned. Even though it only runs about an hour, and doesn't answer a lot of questions about Buckley's personal life, it leaves a strong sense of who he was as an artist and human being. I caught the film at the Seattle Film Festival years ago and remember it deeply resonating. I only just realized the film had finally been released and bought the DVD as part of the Grace Around The World DVD set.

balazsorosz Since his sudden death, Jeff Buckley represents what has been a crucially missing part from modern contemporary music. He pushed the boundaries deliberately and put down decades worth of material onto just two discs. He is missed and this documentary is just another proof of his much missed presence. This documentary has been created on the basis of his short lived carrier - with results pretty much arguable. Unfortunately the way one remaining relative handles the legacy of Jeff's music is pretty much unloyal. A shame that hundreds of hours of live material is resting in the lap of his mother who only wants to preserve his son's legacy by not releasing a thing from Jeff's vaults but creating false myths and productions based on doubtful theories (just like this release.) Numerous FM recordings are laying ahead without the slightest chance of getting released in their finest, pristine quality because of other "would-be" business things apart from Columbia. Unfortunately not one box set has emerged glorifying Jeff's spectacular live performances since his tragic quit in 1997.While we have real documentaries and footages of him performing we could make more out of his magnificent art. Period.
