A 2025 drama film with 82% on Rotten Tomatoes is now available on streaming

The movie stars Stephen Graham in one of the lead roles.

Released in cinemas last October, the biopic sees Jeremy Allen White (The Bear, The Iron Claw) play 'The Boss'. The film depicts Springsteen as a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom but "struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past.

The story also chronicles the making of his 1982 album Nebraska, a raw and haunting acoustic record that is now considered one of his most enduring works.

Directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Out of the Furnace), Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere co-stars Stephen Graham (Boiling Point, The Good Boy) as Springsteen's father and Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice, Succession) as Jon Landau, the singer's manager and record producer.

Critics seem to be divided on the biopic. Many praised the movie's performances (particularly from Strong and White) and the decision to focus on a less well-known period of The Boss' life, though several complained that the film's tone was too "dour" and "downbeat".

Paying cinemagoers, however, seem to have responded to Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere more positively, with it currently holding an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

You can read a sample some of the glowing reviews for the movie below:

Daily Telegraph (UK): "Strong – so earnestly committed to his own process – has found a role that lets him applaud how art gets made. And in White, too, something primal and touching stirs."

FilmWeek (LAist): "It's the kind of biopic I often really like where it's not trying to encompass the entirety of a famous person's life but takes a pivotal segment and examines that."

IndieWire: "[Jeremy Allen White] doesn’t look a ton like Springsteen… but his performance is steeped in a truth so natural and unforced that by the end of the film you almost forget that he’s playing someone else."

Mark Kermode: "This is not just a film for fans… I really enjoyed the movie."

New York Times: "The great surprise of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere — a solid, very likeable, very affecting drama about an anguished period in the life of the young Bruce Springsteen — is that it doesn’t shy away from soul-deep pain."

Time: "White is quietly effective as Bruce, having perfected the singer’s trademark honeycomb rasp."

Vulture: "At its best, the film gives us a sincere look at the creative process and reveals it to be a sad, scary, at times uncontrollable and destructive thing. Just for that alone, it’s worth seeing."
