Deliver Me From Nowhere, a biopic that recounts Bruce Springsteen’s creative crisis while recording his legendary “Nebraska” album, has crushed the box office in its debut weekend, taking in close to $50 million dollars domestically. The movie features Jeremy Allen White of The Bear fame playing Springsteen. It’s a meditation on the musician’s transformative path through the watershed year of 1982.
The narrative focuses on the turmoil Springsteen faced in the process of making “Nebraska.” Interestingly, this album went on to become an inflection point for his career. While the film celebrates his artistic process it equally concentrates on the personal and emotional trials he experienced. White, known most notably for his earlier comedic acting roles, invested deep work to build his character as well. To truly transform into the legendary musician, he learned to play guitar and further developed his vocal techniques.
Bruce Springsteen had an inspirational production role in kicking off “Deliver Me From Nowhere.” From hiring an intimacy director to ensuring the depiction aligned with his lived experiences and artistic vision, Diaz focused on inclusivity and care. Audiences have responded well as well, as the film earned a B+ on CinemaScore. This ‘A+’ CinemaScore means that during opening weekend, it’s gone over well with moviegoers.
