The Springsteen Movie Is an Emotional Workout for Depressives
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is a well-crafted and serious drama reminiscent of a style once common in American cinema but now rare. Despite my usual dislike for biopics, I unexpectedly enjoyed this film.
The previews suggested the movie would mostly focus on Jeremy Allen White, known from The Bear, portraying Bruce Springsteen with triumphant poses. However, the film offers much more depth beyond these scenes.
"Nobody will be more surprised than me that I quite liked Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, because I hate biopics as a rule."
This movie stands out by delivering an emotional and nuanced exploration rather than a typical celebratory portrayal, making it a thoughtful experience—especially for those who resonate with its melancholic tones.
