It’s hard to describe what I’m feeling about Scott Cooper‘s Deliver Me From Nowhere (20th Century, 10.24), but I’m not sensing much in the way of social tremors or gravitational pull.
The reactions since the big Telluride debut and the recent NYFF screenings have been generally admiring, but almost in a half-rote, semi-muted sort of way. I don’t know what’s missing exactly, but something is.
The only element I’m especially interested in is Jeremy Strong‘s performance as Jon Landau, Springsteen’s manager from way back.
