"At the time, everyone had expected his next offering to be another album replete with enthusiastic rock 'n' roll and introspective ballads. Instead, the artist, 33 at the time, made one of the sharpest left turns in music history, retreating to the bedroom of his rented farmhouse in Colts Neck, New Jersey, to record, unaccompanied, the ten bleak and mournful tracks of Nebraska."
"Unlike recent examples of the genre, Cooper's movie, out now, is not a sweeping account of its subject's life. Instead, it homes in on a few months in 1981–82, when Springsteen was flying high in the wake of his hit 1980 album, The River, but slipping nonetheless into melancholy and confusion, tormented by memories of his troubled childhood."
"I saw rock and roll's future and its name is Bruce Springsteen."
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere homes in on a few months in 1981–82 when Bruce Springsteen retreated to a rented farmhouse in Colts Neck, New Jersey, and recorded the ten bleak, mournful, unaccompanied tracks of Nebraska. The film centers on an intimate creative pivot from expectations after The River toward a stark solo record that Springsteen calls his most self-revelatory work. Jeremy Allen White portrays Springsteen in a screenplay adapted from Warren Zanes's 2023 book, directed by Scott Cooper. Cooper endured personal tragedy during production, losing his father and his home to wildfires, and Springsteen offered Cooper use of his house.
