4K Digital Review of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere

 

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is an almost emo look at the man and his music. A dark, depressive world that Springsteen turned into music. We see his sad childhood and we know that this is not going to be a glossy, feel good biopic. It is a showcase for Jeremy Allen White who plays Springsteen. 

As we hear the lyrics of the songs, we hear the problems Springsteen had with his father. The movie itself goes back and forth between the troubled childhood of Springsteen and his troubled early professional career. In the current time frame of the movie, there is also a romantic interest that is introduced. But history shows that Springsteen was very single during this time and I think would have made for a more interesting story. 

Video:

The 4K streaming presentation is another solid transfer from Disney and 20th Century Studios. There is so much detail and clarity. The color graded scenes are beautiful and the colors pop off the screen. 

Audio:

The Dolby Atmos presentation here is stunning. The live concert sequences take full advantage of this in terms of creating a huge immersive soundscape. Dialogue is clear and front channel forward. Environmental effects move effortlessly from the side and rear channels. This is another solid effort from Disney and 20th Century Studios.
