A decent film that could’ve been a great one, but it leaves a lot on the bone. I find musical biopics too naff for the most part so I was glad the Nebraska album was the focus of the film, and more specifically the transition period from ‘Big and Famous’ to ‘Global Megastar’, and his issues in crossing that bridge. Nebraska is specifically the perfect point of focus as it covers a lot of his angst and guilt about moving on. JAW as Bruce is…

Just watched yesterday at the cinema, it's something unbelievable. I didn't know Bruce had a life so similar to mine... Well, what else can I say? I was moved and cried in almost every scene... Especially those with his father. Now I understand why, just listening the first time some songs I felt like a punch in the stomach. Fantastic person, fantastic artist. I honestly don't think I'll be able to see it again... Too true for me.

"So it's like this the whole way through? Can we stop it?" For a Bruce Springsteen movie, this is oddly flat and lifeless. Script is impressively boring; story arc virtually non-existent. The central dramatic conflict in this movie is whether you can record an album on a cassette tape. (I'm not kidding.) Man that script needed work. It's a pity, because everyone else is at the top of their craft. Very sweaty lead performance. And I love when…

The best thing a music biopic can do is send you home wanting to play an album. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere does exactly that. Instead of stadium anthems and triumphant montages, it places you in a small, almost claustrophobic room where a thin, restless artist records Nebraska as if whispering a confession. Scott Cooper keeps the film deliberately restrained. He avoids spectacle in favour of a dry, introspective tone that can feel…

Just give Jeremy an Oscar already. I cried without even realizing it the moment he cried at the shrink's office.

Excellent. For the first time in a long time, I had the urge to applaud the cast and crew at the end. It's not perfect. The bad - conjuring up a female love interest who didn't exist in real life. The good - everything else. Amazing turn by JAW, especially with the music and singing. There will be criticism that the E Street Band are in it but the camera never settles on one of them for more than a second and largely they're never in dialogue.…

Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White became close personal friends during the making of the film. Springsteen even gave the actor one of his precious guitars.
