Overview

• The film debuts at the Telluride Film Festival and is slated for a theatrical release from Searchlight Pictures on October 24, 2025.
• Rather than a cradle-to-grave sweep, the story zeroes in on Springsteen’s creative crisis that produced the stark 1982 album Nebraska.
• Reviews praise the film’s restrained, small-moment approach as an antidote to bombastic rock biopics, even as some cite uneven focus.
• Jeremy Allen White stars as Springsteen, with Jeremy Strong as manager-producer Jon Landau and Odessa Young and Stephen Graham in key roles.
• Cooper dramatizes the lo-fi four-track recordings in a Colts Neck rental and the record-label resistance to releasing them, including a noted reaction from Jimmy Iovine.
