"The Sydney-born star was beguiling opposite Elisabeth Moss in Shirley, Josephine Decker's erotically charged psychodrama about the writer Shirley Jackson, electric in Sam Levinson's lurid teen satire Assassination Nation, and heartbreaking in Justin Kurzel's tragic WWII-set romantic drama The Narrow Road to the Deep North , released this year."
"Cooper's film takes a striking approach to the Boss's story, zooming in on a dark chapter leading to the creation of Nebraska, one of his bleakest but most enduring works."
"A self-confessed Springsteen superfan - she tells me his face was iced on to her 16th birthday cake - Young seized on the chance to audition for the role, sending Cooper a self-tape that she later decided she was "deeply unhappy" with."
Odessa Young has built a reputation for striking, versatile performances across varied films. In Deliver Me From Nowhere she plays Faye, a young single mother and waitress who becomes a pivotal, grounding presence for Bruce Springsteen’s character. The film focuses on a dark chapter that led to the creation of Nebraska, showing a musician retreating to Long Branch, New Jersey under label pressure and sliding into depression. Faye is a composite drawn from several women in his life. Young is a self-confessed Springsteen superfan, discovered his music through her father, and called his music a lifeline. She auditioned via a self-tape she later felt was "deeply unhappy" with.
