Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere Review
A review of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, in theatres everywhere on Friday, October 24, 2025.
Despite usually boasting outstanding performances in leading and supporting roles, the modern musician biopic has been in a sorry state for quite some time, so while Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere bends to a lot of tiresome genre conventions (and still has great performances), it also makes a lot of good choices to add a certain degree of thoughtfulness.
Like many of the better biopics out there, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere doesn’t try to encompass an artist’s entire, complex life, but rather focuses on a rich, tumultuous, and specifically interesting portion of their life.
Such an approach always leads to a less obvious and cloying film, and that decision gives Cooper the best film of his career since his debut feature, Crazy Heart.
