Over the weekend we went to the pictures to see Deliver Me From Nowhere the current Bruce Springsteen biopic.
I vaguely knew that a film was in the making but was unaware that it had been released so heads up to Mrs CC for discovering it was on and booking tickets.
The Guardian review here describes it as a solid biopic which both embraces and avoids cliche. It also gives a link to a trailer.
Without giving too much away it is set in the early 80s after the release of The River when Bruce is writing songs both for Nebraska and Born in the USA while tackling some demons which go back to childhood trauma.
I thought it was pretty good without being brilliant. It is not a patch on the recent Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown but is streets ahead of Bob Marley's One Love . Like the Guardian I would give it a solid 3/5. Jeremy Allen White is pretty convincing in the lead role.
It maybe says something about the demographic of fans of the Boss as several of our fellow audience members were using walking aids!
Regular readers will not be surprised that when it comes to Born in the USA or Nebraska I will choose the latter all day long.
I don't think I'm alone.
