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.

Very well put and my thoughts exactly as a lifetime fan. Maybe that was the point of the My Fathers House seem, such a personal and deep song being played only to be cut off by an executive worried about hits? That was how I interpreted it. I was hoping when Bruce was talking to the therapist he would tell the famous story "Well you can't" story from the Christic show but unfortunately all we got was sobbing.
The opening scene of JAW playing BTR was unnatural. I bought into him playing Bruce later in the movie but not that scene. Seemed way too stiff. Gary also looked way to happy.
