Overview
- Reviews praise Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Strong’s turn as Jon Landau, while noting uneven storytelling and a divisive fictional romance subplot.
- The film zeroes in on the creation of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska, portraying his New Jersey retreat and an intense focus on mental health and artistic integrity.
- Springsteen has publicly endorsed White’s acting and singing, and White performs the songs himself after vocal and guitar coaching from Eric Vetro and J.D. Simo with producer Dave Cobb overseeing the music.
- Several tracks from the film performed by White are available now, with the full soundtrack scheduled for release on Dec. 5.
- The U.S. theatrical release is set for Oct. 24, and the week also brings attention to a new Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition box set tied to the same era.
