Springsteen Biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ Debuts to Mixed Reviews and Standout Turn by Jeremy Allen White

The authorized adaptation centers on Springsteen’s 1981–82 crisis during the lo‑fi birth of Nebraska.

Overview

  • Scott Cooper’s film, based on Warren Zanes’ book and made with Springsteen’s blessing, opens in theaters on October 24 with the Spanish title Springsteen: Música de ninguna parte.
  • Reviewers consistently praise Jeremy Allen White’s embodied portrayal, noting that he performs much of the Nebraska material himself after extensive preparation with Springsteen.
  • The narrative zeroes in on depression, isolation and creative reckoning in New Jersey, with Jeremy Strong as manager Jon Landau and Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father alongside portrayals of figures from the E Street circle.
  • Critics commend the meticulous recreation of the four‑track cassette sessions that defined Nebraska’s stark sound, while faulting reliance on biopic clichés, flashbacks and limited psychological access.
  • Cooper and cast emphasize an introspective, room‑bound approach in press stops including Madrid, describing an effort to render interiority on screen rather than chart career “glory” moments.
