Despite a somewhat divided critical reception, Deliver Me From Nowhere is essential viewing for music lovers and those keen to explore the depths of one of America’s most significant contemporary artists, reports the Mirror.

One glowing five-star Letterboxd review proclaimed: « What a magnificent movie. I’m truly at loss of words now, because I believe that nothing I could say would ever be enough to express my love for this and do Bruce’s story justice.

« It’s a heavy, bittersweet, and beautiful in its pain piece of art. It takes us on a journey that induces tears and breaks hearts. And god, how important that is. »

One enthusiast hailed it as « the greatest musical biopic that’s ever been done. There’s something so deeply emotional and personal about this project that speaks to me in ways not a lot of movies do. »

« This is more than just a biopic. It’s a deeply emotional and moving story. »

Over on IMDb, the praise kept pouring in. One viewer awarded the film a perfect 10/10, describing it as « gave me goosebumps » and lauding White’s performance as « Oscar worthy » and « so good, I can’t put into words what I was seeing and feeling. »

Another confessed the film « Brought me to tears », penning: « The acting was phenomenal. The performances felt real and grounded. The relationship between Bruce and his father really hit home for me, and I think it will for a lot of people.

« It showed the kind of quiet distance and unspoken love that many of us grew up with.
