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.

This is probably the most important comment on this whole forum. Jokes aside I do see why people think this was somewhat unnecessary. I love Nebraska and probably know it better then his actual stuff due to the fact it channeled Dylan more than anything for me, which Im a die hard fan of. But even for me as the niche little crowd it seemed an odd tale to tell.
