Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the “compelling” starring Jeremy Allen White and Stephen Graham, has landed a new streaming home in the UK. Based on a real-life story and featuring “beautiful performances”, this is one 2025 release you won’t want to miss.
The film, from writer-director Scott Cooper, sees White portray legendary musician Bruce Springsteen as he prepares to record Nebraska, the 1982 studio album that would come to be viewed by many as his seminal work.
As he draws inspiration for his latest work, Bruce remains committed to telling personal stories in his songs, but it comes at a cost as painful memories from his childhood and his fractured relationship with his father, Douglas (Graham), come to the surface.
Featuring Jeremy Strong and Paul Walter Hauser in supporting roles, the drama is now available to stream in the UK on Disney+, with the Golden Globe-nominated film being added to the streamer today.
Though it underperformed at the box office with a gross of $45 million, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere was generally well received by critics, with Rotten Tomatoes currently reporting an approval rating of 61% from 249 reviews.

“What Cooper has given audiences here is way more compelling than a live-action greatest-hits compilation,” wrote Rolling Stone, who praised White for offering more than a mere imitation of the singer-songwriter.
“The great surprise of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere – a solid, very likable, 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,” said The New York Times.
Vulture was also full of praise, writing: “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.”

Over on IMDb, the drama has a solid average user rating of 6.7 out of 10 from 16,000 logs, with one user praising its “sensitive” approach to themes of mental health as well as the “beautiful performances” from both White and Graham.
While Disney+ subscribers can view the drama now, one of Graham’s other projects will hit the big screen in the coming months, with the first trailer for The Good Boy being unveiled earlier this week.
