Rather, composed as it is almost entirely of fan-produced material, the film serves as a curated inquiry (Baillie Walsh takes a director&#8217;s credit) into fandom. It&#8217;s a movie about the people who love Springsteen, and connect to the honesty they hear in his\u00a0music. Ergo, there&#8217;s lots of sentimentality, with a couple pinches of requisite weirdness (one woman recounts with pride using a picture of Springsteen with her\u00a0toddler as a sort of flashcard for the word &#8220;daddy&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>It may sound a bit dodgy as a framework for a feature film offering, but it mostly works &#8212; owing to the fact that it becomes readily apparent how and why Springsteen inspires such devotion, with his hearty blue-collar anthems and affinity for the working class. From &#8220;Born to Run&#8221; and &#8220;Blood Brothers&#8221; to &#8220;Dancing in the Dark,&#8221; &#8220;Jungleland&#8221; and many more &#8212; anecdotes aplenty flow from these songs, and classic performance footage of accompaniment is a nice cross-section which showcases the emotional liftoff his concerts so often achieve.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also some never-before-seen archival footage &#8212; which is a nice respite from\u00a0the generally cruddy technical quality of much of the fan-recorded\u00a0stuff, captured on cell phones or webcams seemingly liberated from a Balkan second-hand electronics store &#8212; and the movie&#8217;s theatrical bookings features unreleased big screen performance highlights from the London Hard Rock Calling Wrecking Ball tour, and a behind-the-scenes fan meet-and-greet with Springsteen. &#8220;Springsteen\u00a0&amp; I&#8221; is catnip to hardcore fans, but music aficionados of all stripes should find some reward herein.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> On the evening of July 30, &#8220;Springsteen\u00a0&amp; I&#8221; will be presented in nearly 500 movie theaters around the country through NCM Fathom Events&#8217; exclusive digital broadcast network.
