Deliver Me From Nowhere Review
A surprisingly faithful portrait, starring Jeremy Allen White, the Nebraska-era biopic explores Springsteen's psyche and finds plenty of fan-friendly moments.
The film, directed by Scott Cooper, stays true to the small-scale nature of this chapter in Bruce Springsteen's story. Jeremy Allen White's portrayal of Springsteen as a man struggling with newfound fame and a troubled relationship with his father is a highlight.
“Man makes record in bedroom” does not sound like a movie pitch to get Hollywood salivating
White's performance is magnetic, bringing authenticity to scenes such as rocking out with the E Street Band and creating the quiet, strange songs of Nebraska.
Author's summary: A faithful biopic of Springsteen's Nebraska era.
