Springsteen on Broadway is a rare spiritual experience (and I hate that expression, but it does fit here) that makes you reconnect with your roots.

It clips along like a finely-tuned machine born of hours upon hours of planning and staging, but it has an urgency to it that grips the audience and won't let go.

There's a very meditative, very self-deprecating quality to this [film].

At two-and-a-half-hours, it ought to drag; instead it builds with poetic flourishes and self-examination...

The approach conjures a compelling intimacy as the musician takes a trip back through his life, reflecting on his childhood, the very different personalities of his parents, and the effects his hard-drinking father had on his development.

Springsteen on Broadway distills everything that makes one of America's greatest singer-songwriter-rock stars such a formidable, genial, and inviting personalities into a single, visual volume.

Stripping the songs back to their basics - only a voice and an instrument - lets the lyrics breathe, bringing out their beauty and aching poignancy.

A master class in pacing, dynamics, modulation of volume and tone, and the film brings you right up onstage with Springsteen, giving you a more intimate view of his technique - understated, seemingly casual but absolutely controlled.
