Tom Dunne: Ignore the critics, the Springsteen film is well worth seeing 

Deliver Me From Nowhere isn't getting rave reviews, but it hit me as an emotional account of the dark days Springsteen faced around the recording of Nebraska 

Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere. 

The new Bruce Springsteen movie – I really wouldn’t call it a biopic – is dividing fans and reviewers alike. Deliver Me From Nowhere didn’t so much divide me as floor me. I wasn’t expecting the emotional impact. But this is Nebraska, Bruce’s darkest hour. I should have seen it coming.

Nebraska was always an outlier. Sandwiched between the world conquering epics of The River (1980) and Born in the USA (1984) its lo-fi, brooding melancholy was never going to be to everyone’s taste. But those who loved it are adamant: It is Bruce’s artistic masterpiece.
