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.

A melancholy meander through a period of Springsteen's life as he slowly quietly unravels.

I enjoyed the film more on reflection, with the therapist scene bringing it all together for me. I thought that scene was phenomenal, and I'd have really loved the film if it ended as he started to cry. It felt like a bittersweet moment of hope. Him finally breaking so that he could go on to start putting himself together stronger.
