Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere

Springsteen becomes as raw and as frank as the characters in his songs.

Jeremy Allen White is a convincingly tortured rock star in this smartly narrow and specific look at a particular chapter of music history

It’s a little more circumspect and objective than these films usually are.

...plays so much like a movie hastily greenlit in the wake of last year’s Dylan picture A Complete Unknown, even though it actually got started well before that movie was released.

Cooper’s film wants to be the “Nebraska” of rock biopics, but it lacks the finesse to retain the essence of that sound when transferring it into the body of a commercial biopic.
