Sara Bareilles: Good Grief, a new music documentary about the singer-songwriter’s return to the studio, launches with an official trailer. The film follows Bareilles as she records her latest album, Good Grief, and highlights her conversations and creative process during studio time.
The documentary is directed by Josh Alexander and premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, with a limited theatrical release planned for September. Sources describe the project as centering on Bareilles’ recent experiences, including grief and personal loss, and frame the studio sessions as intimate and reflective. One outlet emphasizes that the documentary covers the making of the album over several days and ties the film closely to the album’s release earlier this summer. Across coverage, the common focus is Bareilles’ collaboration with close friends and the way the film documents the work leading up to the new record, without detailing additional plot elements beyond the recording process.
