Bruce Springsteen, a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggles to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past.

When movie fans sit down to watch a film, they generally have certain expectations in mind, especially when it comes to subjects and individuals whom they think they already know. That’s particularly true when it comes to releases about high-profile public figures, like celebrities and rock stars. However, when those expectations go unmet, audience members may react with surprise, confusion or disappointment. Such is the case for many with the new film biography of rock icon Bruce Springsteen (Jeremy Allen White). This is not the prototypical celebrity hearty-partying, glitzy, glamorous biopic that many viewers have come to expect out of titles in this genre. Rather, it’s a mostly somber, introspective look at the musician during a troubling period in his life and career, a time in the early 1980s when he was learning to cope with success, establish himself as an artist and deal with the ghosts of his past, particularly his relationship with his abusive, neglectful and often-distant father (Stephen Graham). It was a time when he was working on the album Nebraska, a dark and sobering collection of songs that marked a radical departure from the high-energy pop sound he had established on previous LPs. It was also an album that reflected his inner self and the emotional struggles he was going through at the time, one that he wanted to capture those feelings, in part as a work of art and in part as a form of therapy to express himself. And, in creating this album, he wanted it to be raw and unembellished, both in the music, in the way it was recorded and in the way it would be marketed, with no singles, no tour and no press, concerns that troubled his label and his manager (Jeremy Strong). This process also strained relations with his budding romantic interest at the time (Odessa Young), a woman he adored but for whom he was uncertain he could bring to their partnership what he believed was needed to make it work, a reflection of the self-image issues with which he was wrestling. In essence, then, this is more of a movie about depression and mental health matters than it is about the music per se, a noble undertaking, to be sure. But, to a great extent, that’s also where the picture comes up short due to its inability to wrap its arms around that topic as clearly and effectively as it might have, thereby underwhelming the expectations of those hoping that this film would shed valuable light on this subject. To that end, then, “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” fails to fulfill the expectations of both those looking for a rock icon biopic and those looking for an insightful take on serious mental health issues, particularly in terms of how they can even affect someone who might otherwise be seen as having it made in life. Granted, the film features fine performances from its cast members, including in the re-created musical sequences, but, thematically speaking, it never quite reaches the depths for which it strives and by becoming somewhat repetitive in its inability to achieve its hoped-for level of profound introspection. Writer-director Scott Cooper appears to have good intentions behind what he’s trying to do here but doesn’t seem up to the challenge of actually pulling it off. One could more aptly title this film as “Darkness on the Edge of Bruce,” but, regrettably, it tends to hover on the edge of things and never gets past the boundaries that this story seeks to strip away.

Of all of the recent spate of rock star biopics, I think this is probably the weakest I’ve seen. That’s not because Jeremy Allen White doesn’t convince. For the most part he does. It’s that they have picked a part of his life that showcases this man’s search for his own version of emotional, musical and acoustic perfection, and it’s not really that interesting. Neither, I found, was the somewhat shallow depiction of his commitment-phobe relationship with Faye (Odessa Young). Supported creatively and emotionally by Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong), that element at least gives us some sense of the pressures on this man to deliver, production line style, hit after hit for their record label masters and for a public with a voracious appetite for new content but would it been better to have presented a longer, more comprehensive look as his career? I think probably yes, unless there are plans for a sequel because this tantalises in small measure but frustrates more without really delivering anywhere near enough of the music that gets us watching in the first place. The design looks great, the clothes and the cars and the cassette recorders but I’m afraid I found this all just a bit too superficial a look at a man with genius and flaws. Worth a watch, but disappointing.

a heartfelt but uneven portrait of springsteen’s creative process. it captures the boss’s spirit and solitude, but feels more like a reverent museum piece than a living, breathing story. great music, strong interviews, but the spark fades before the credits roll

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/springsteen-deliver-me-from-nowhere-review/ "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is an overly safe picture, which fulfills the role of educating a lay viewer on the origin of Nebraska and provides musically interesting moments. However, by trading psychological complexity for the predictability of a fictional romance and shallowly treating its heavier themes, it ultimately reveals itself to be a lost opportunity to transcend the limitations of the biopic genre and its own premise. Its true power lies in reminding us that the deepest art often comes from the courageous confrontation with internal darkness." Rating: C+
