Deliver Me From Nowhere Review
A surprisingly faithful portrait of Bruce Springsteen's life, starring Jeremy Allen White, digs into Springsteen's psyche and finds fan-friendly gold.
The biopic, set in the Nebraska era, stays close to the small-scale story of Springsteen's life, thanks to Scott Cooper's direction and Jeremy Allen White's portrayal of Bruce.
“Man makes record in bedroom”
does not sound like a typical Hollywood movie pitch, but the film's focus on the intimate details of Springsteen's life makes it compelling. Jeremy Allen White's performance is magnetic, particularly in scenes where he rocks out with the E Street Band or communes with his guitar and TASCAM as he creates the quiet, strange songs of Nebraska.
