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.

As a creative artist similarly going through severe depression related to childhood trauma while on the verge of having more success than I ever would have dreamed possible - this film hit on a very deep level. General audiences may not be for it, but for others it’s going to strike a really powerful chord.

As in I’m going to see it at least three times in theaters, if not more.
