FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/springsteen-deliver-me-from-nowhere-review/ "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is an overly safe picture, which fulfills the role of educating a lay viewer on the origin of Nebraska and provides musically interesting moments. However, by trading psychological complexity for the predictability of a fictional romance and shallowly treating its heavier themes, it ultimately reveals itself to be a lost opportunity to transcend the limitations of the biopic genre and its own premise. Its true power lies in reminding us that the deepest art often comes from the courageous confrontation with internal darkness." Rating: C+

a heartfelt but uneven portrait of springsteen’s creative process. it captures the boss’s spirit and solitude, but feels more like a reverent museum piece than a living, breathing story. great music, strong interviews, but the spark fades before the credits roll

Of all of the recent spate of rock star biopics, I think this is probably the weakest I’ve seen. That’s not because Jeremy Allen White doesn’t convince. For the most part he does. It’s that they have picked a part of his life that showcases this man’s search for his own version of emotional, musical and acoustic perfection, and it’s not really that interesting. Neither, I found, was the somewhat shallow depiction of his commitment-phobe relationship with Faye (Odessa Young). Supported creatively and emotionally by Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong), that element at least gives us some sense of the pressures on this man to deliver, production line style, hit after hit for their record label masters and for a public with a voracious appetite for new content but would it been better to have presented a longer, more comprehensive look as his career? I think probably yes, unless there are plans for a sequel because this tantalises in small measure but frustrates more without really delivering anywhere near enough of the music that gets us watching in the first place. The design looks great, the clothes and the cars and the cassette recorders but I’m afraid I found this all just a bit too superficial a look at a man with genius and flaws. Worth a watch, but disappointing.
