Sara Bareilles documentary 'Good Grief' gets first trailer

A new documentary about Sara Bareilles, titled “Sara Bareilles: Good Grief,” is set to reach theaters nationwide on September 2 through mTuckman Media. IndieWire debuted the first trailer for the film, which follows the singer-songwriter as she records her seventh studio album, also titled “Good Grief,” due out August 28. Directed by Josh Alexander, the project captures Bareilles working with friends and loved ones during the album-making process.

Bareilles, who is known for her 2007 hit “Love Song,” has sold more than three million albums and won two Grammys. She has also written the music for “Waitress” and appeared in the series “Girls5eva.” In the trailer, she describes the album as being about loss, transition, change, and letting go. The documentary also explores the personal experiences that inspired the record, including a friend’s lung cancer diagnosis in 2019.

“Good Grief” premiered at the Tribeca Festival in June. It is produced by Group Effort Films and Naked Edge Films in association with The deNovo Institute.
