Oprah sits down with actor Jeremy Allen White and writer-director Scott Cooper for a fascinating conversation about their stirring new film, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. The film is a revelatory look at Bruce Springsteen during a personal and professional crossroads; the film explores the mental health struggles and creative reckoning behind the making of his deeply personal album Nebraska. Oprah calls White’s Golden Globe–nominated performance “mesmerizing” and praises Cooper for “elevating quiet struggle into cinematic poetry,” describing the film as “a gift” and a meditation on “what it means to be human.” The film also stars Jeremy Strong, Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, Johnny Cannizzaro, Gaby Hoffman, Paul Walter Hauser and Grace Gummer.
