Overview

• The 20th Century Studios film had its world premiere at Telluride, where Springsteen attended and briefly addressed the crowd.
• Critics praised Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal and vocal work, noting his live singing and selective blending with Springsteen’s Nebraska tapes.
• Scott Cooper’s adaptation of Warren Zanes’ book zeroes in on the creation of Nebraska and depicts Springsteen’s battle with depression during that period.
• Early reviews cite occasional pacing and contextual gaps but single out White, Jeremy Strong, and Odessa Young as potential awards contenders.
• Variety reports a Jeremy Strong trailer monologue was cut from the final film, as the movie readies a New York Film Festival stop and its Oct. 24 theatrical opening.
