You can't really call this a biopic but it does cover an actual period in the younger Springsteen's life when he was going through a period of self reflection and channelling it into a body of work. 🎬

Sometimes even when a historical drama is full of inaccuracies, it can still be well produced and very watchable.

From a short story by Stephen King, this unsettling tale is a bit like The Wonder Years meets The Twilight Zone. Told in reverse, I think it's one of those films you may need to see more than once.
