Overview
- Rotten Tomatoes currently places the film in the low‑70s after several dozen reviews, indicating broadly positive but qualified reception.
- Springsteen made an unannounced showing at the BFI London Film Festival premiere and publicly affirmed Jeremy Allen White as his preferred choice to portray him.
- White performs the songs himself and said recording “Born in the U.S.A.” triggered a migraine and brief voice loss during preparation.
- Directed and co-written by Scott Cooper, the film adapts Warren Zanes’s book to focus on the making of 1982’s Nebraska and Springsteen’s struggles with depression and his father.
- The ensemble features Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau, Paul Walter Hauser as Mike Batlan, and Stephen Graham as Douglas Springsteen, with theaters and IMAX set for Oct. 24.
