Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere on Digital Now!
A powerful and intimate portrait of creativity, ambition, and the cost of chasing a dream, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is now available on digital platforms (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home).
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere: Jeremy Allen White stars in this intimate film about the making of Bruce Springsteen’s acoustic album “Nebraska.” On the cusp of global superstardom, the young musician struggles to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. “Nebraska” marked a pivotal time in the Boss’s life and is considered one of his most enduring works – a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
The musician and songwriter is portrayed with great heart and sound by Jeremy Allen White, who authentically plays guitar and sings in this artful performance that has garnered critical acclaim as well as a Golden Globes nomination for “Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.”
“‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honor I’ve ever had as a filmmaker,” says Cooper. “This film takes a couple years out of my life and looks at them very closely, a time when I made ‘Nebraska’ and went through some personal difficulties,” says Springsteen. “I’m so appreciative of Jeremy Allen White and the entire cast for their wonderful and moving performances—and Scott Cooper, one of the most generous collaborators I’ve ever worked with.”
The film is directed by Scott Cooper from his adaptation of Warren Zanes’ book of the same name. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” also features Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Odessa Young as Faye; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia executive, Al Teller.

This sounds like a thoughtful, stripped-down look at a pivotal moment in Springsteen’s career, especially for fans of Nebraska. After reading film news like this, I usually reset with something simple and fast-paced, even a quick round of Stickman Hook, before diving back in.
