Music biopics about major pop stars of the rock and roll era have been huge in the 21st Century. The most recent, Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, is currently in theaters on the 2025 movie schedule. Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of the Jersey hero is just the latest in a long line of really great performances of our favorite musicians. Many have been nominated for Oscars, and some have won them for their roles. Perhaps my favorite, though, doesn’t seem to get the same acclaim: Paul Dano as Brian Wilson in Love & Mercy from 2014.
