Overview
- The film zeroes in on Bruce Springsteen’s creation of the 1982 album Nebraska rather than offering a cradle-to-grave biopic.
- Jeremy Allen White plays Springsteen after learning guitar and performing the songs on set without playback, a choice he says demanded heavy vocal exertion.
- Recording and location work aimed for period accuracy, including sessions at RCA in Nashville and filming in New Jersey settings such as Asbury Park’s Stone Pony and Freehold.
- Jeremy Strong portrays longtime manager Jon Landau, approaching the role through research into Landau’s creative partnership with Springsteen.
- Early reviews praise White’s performance and vocals while some critics say the portrayal lacks the deeper intensity they expected; the film is now in Peruvian theaters via 20th Century Studios.
