All of this led to the writing and recording of his 1982 acoustic masterpiece Nebraska. Jeremy Allen White's performance is very good, and he does a great job capturing Springsteen's mannerisms and voice, both speaking and singing. He also kinda looks like a young Bruce and even holds and strums the guitar like him. It was uncanny.
Jeremy Strong is also excellent as Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau.

Saw the Springsteen film this weekend, I'm a huge fan having seen him live about a dozen times and really liked it. But it is not going to be for everyone, as honestly it is a little self indulgent with respect to his personal challenges.
I think you liked Jeremy Allen White in the role more than i did, I didn't buy the mannerisms especially when performing. But he was still good.
For me Jeremy Strong and the relationship between Springsteen and Landau was the highlight.
