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.

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

| Original Score: B | May 21, 2015

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 27, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 28, 2013

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

an admittedly slight but resonant and lingering look at two truly singular talents - their flaws presented alongside their musical gifts - who were haunted by the presence of each other throughout their careers.

It's a fittingly understated turn [from Badgley], complemented by on-stage performances of Tim Buckley's music that feels - and sounds - like real emotional catharsis. No small feat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2013

While the film seems like a tribute itself it doesn't have significant commercial appeal but it may appeal to the fans

| Jul 28, 2013

Penn Badgley delivers a pivotal performance as the younger Buckley, coming off with just enough pretentiousness and attitude.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2013

Algrant's desire to reunite father and son through music is admirable, but "Greetings from Tim Buckley" is too meandering and ethereal to have any lasting impact.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 23, 2013

The movie struggles to find its footing, lacking the dramatic tension to make it of much interest beyond the fan base of the supremely talented, tragically fated Buckleys.

| Original Score: B- | May 23, 2013

Badgley does a credible take on the signature falsetto that Jeff would later bring to his only album, Grace ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 17, 2013

The concert may have seen the reluctant birth of a second-generation rock star, but this movie, if nothing else, is a similarly suitable showcase for its own leading man.

| May 3, 2013

In paying homage to two iconic performers, he's given a former small-screen star the chance to announce his own cinematic arrival.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2013

Badgley delivers a nuanced performance of such ferocity he almost singlehandedly makes a conventional film seem loose and improvisatory.

| May 3, 2013

Greetings From Tim Buckley is a beautiful, touching, electrically charged success, capturing the essence of these two adored musicians with a synergistic magic that, unbelievably, does them both justice.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 3, 2013

Music-filled drama amounts to several promises unfulfilled except for some solid performances and a terrific soundtrack of Buckley songs, both actual and skillfully recreated.

| May 3, 2013

What redeems the film, ultimately, are Jeff's poignant efforts to unburden himself of his father's oppressive legacy and stand on his own merits.

| May 3, 2013

Director Daniel Algrant chose well with Badgley, who transcends the rather made-for-온라인카지노추천 vibe with a decent rendition of Buckley's haunting falsetto.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 3, 2013

There is no doubt that Greetings From Tim Buckley is respectable...But the film never quite connects father and son as each sharing the common bond of extraordinary talent or even similar personal woes.

| Original Score: C+ | May 3, 2013
