""This was about catching Bruce's spirit; it was never about imitation," writer and director Scott Cooper told Esquire, adding that Springsteen's involvement in the film was "extensive." "I think Bruce was happy to hear me say that it was never about telling the whole story of Bruce Springsteen," Cooper said. "It was about honoring that period: the stillness, the searching, the emotional honesty.""
"In real life, The Boss probably met lots of girls at The Stone Pony - in fact, it's where Springsteen met his future wife, Patti Scialfa - but never, to our knowledge, a girl named Faye Romano. Young described her character in the film as an amalgamation of various women that Springsteen dated in his 20s and early 30s. Although Faye isn't a real person, she represents a problematic dating pattern born of Springsteen's fear of commitment at the time."
Deliver Me from Nowhere centers on Bruce Springsteen's early-career stresses, anxieties, and fear of commitment, dramatized through a fictional composite girlfriend named Faye Romano. Odessa Young portrays Faye opposite Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen, with Faye introduced after a Stone Pony show by her brother. Faye embodies a problematic dating pattern from Springsteen's twenties and early thirties and represents his fickle treatment of partners. The narrative opens with a reenactment of Springsteen's 1981 Riverfront Coliseum concert amid heightened fame after Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River. The director framed the film to honor a period of stillness, searching, and emotional honesty, with extensive involvement from Springsteen.
