I don’t normally like to compare movies to one another; I don’t think it’s fair to do that. However, as I was watching Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere last night, the music biopic which hits the 2025 movie schedule this weekend, I kept thinking about last year’s A Complete Unknown. On the surface, the comparisons are natural; both are biopics about musicians, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, and both are mostly about one specific moment in each one’s career. It goes deeper than that, though, because of how different those moments were for the artists.
A quick warning, there are some very light spoilers for both movies ahead, but nothing that would ruin the experience of either.
