Ratings and reviews

Do you remember the first time you heard a song or band that changed your life? We love a good Bruce Springsteen track at CineSocialUK and gave this homage to 'The Boss', but does it try to do too much? See our full review for more: bit.ly/BlindedByLight

Saw this at the cinema and enjoyed it very much. Lighthearted easy watching. Great if like me you are a fan of The Boss. Great story

An easy going film to watch, specially if you are fan of Bruce
