Springsteen Movie Is an Emotional Workout for Depressives

Nobody will be more surprised than me that I quite liked Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, because I hate biopics as a rule. Also, the film’s previews seemed to indicate that the movie would mostly consist of a sweaty Jeremy Allen White of The Bear playing Bruce Springsteen by striking triumphal poses in front of huge sellout stadium crowds, as befits “the Boss.” Clearly the marketers are aware of the biopic most Springsteen fans would prefer to see. As for me, I’d run long and hard to avoid seeing a movie like that.
