Overview
- Scott Cooper’s authorized biopic zeroes in on the stark Nebraska period, portraying Springsteen’s retreat and depression, and adapts Warren Zanes’s 2023 book.
- Jeremy Allen White plays Springsteen on screen and on the soundtrack, with Jeremy Strong portraying longtime manager and producer Jon Landau.
- Recent reporting lists a multi-track album featuring nine songs performed solo by White and three recorded with additional musicians.
- White prepared with intensive coaching, training vocally with Eric Vetro and on guitar with J.D. Simo, as producer Dave Cobb supervised the music.
- Early reviews span strong notices and reservations, from a 4-out-of-5 rating at LaughingPlace to Little White Lies calling the film a ‘middling’ and risk-averse portrait.
