I think they were expecting a standard biopic and couldn't adjust when it wasn't that. I've seen one guy who didn't like it at first but couldn't get it out of his head. He went back and watched it again from a different perspective and loved it. It seems to be doing better streaming than on screen.

I watched recently for the second time Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and I understand less, why this excellent film got such bad reviews.
