Deliver Me from Nowhere captures Bruce Springsteen at his most vulnerable—alone in his bedroom, wrestling with depression while creating his rawest album, Nebraska.

I remember hearing his music when I was little in the early 80’s. Back then, I couldn’t appreciate his soulful, bluesy sound—it felt too heavy for a kid. As an adult, I finally understand the weight behind every lyric. This film deepened that appreciation even further. I had no idea about his battles with depression—it adds profound context to his music.

Jeremy Allen White is phenomenal. If you only know him as Lip from Shameless, prepare to be stunned. He doesn’t just impersonate Springsteen—he embodies the tortured artist, capturing both his iconic presence and his private pain. White transforms completely, proving he’s capable of far more than his breakout role suggested.

Director Scott Cooper, who guided Jeff Bridges to an Oscar in Crazy Heart, brings that same raw authenticity here. The film’s intimate cinematography mirrors Nebraska’s sparse, haunting quality—you feel Springsteen’s isolation in every frame.

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

Whether you’re a lifelong Springsteen fan or simply appreciate Jeremy Allen White’s talent, Deliver Me from Nowhere delivers a powerful portrait of creativity born from darkness.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes: I found 2 Peetimes that will help you out. There are many scenes where it’s just music and scenery, those scenes are usually short but they will work in an emergency.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Plot
Bruce Springsteen’s journey crafting his 1982 album Nebraska, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band. Based on Warren Zanes’ book.

Christene Johnson (RunPee Sis)

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.

Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
