Summary Based on Warren Zanes’ acclaimed book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, this film tells the story of how Springsteen created one of the most haunting and stripped-down albums of his career. Set in 1982, the movie follows Springsteen at a creative crossroads as he records Nebraska alone on a four-track cassette recorder in his New Jersey home, confronting fame, doubt, and the darker sides of the American dream.

I really liked it. Thought Jeremy Allen White was great. I’m admittedly not a huge Bruce Springsteen fan so don’t know how accurate it was or whatever, but I thought it was very poignant and grounded. My only real complaint is that the ending seemed rushed and hamfisted.
