The slow motion crumbling of a marriage that just so happens to shape a child that will go on to effect an entire industry and multiple generations. Sometimes real life is just so on the nose.

The Fabelmans is a great movie. While Sam Fabelman is the main character, this is still an autobiographical story of Spielberg's childhood, his family, discovering movies, and his growth in making films. Spielberg wrote, produced, and directed the film, and it is a masterpiece of direction, sound design, and editing. While I'm not a huge Michelle Williams fan, she was amazing as Sam/Steven's mom, giving an amazing performance in a very physically and emotionally wrought role. Plus she shows off her real piano playing skills. John Williams did the music, so the sound design and editing of the music with the scenes in the movie, and in Sam's films is beautifully done. Well worth the watch just as a movie, but all the more for anyone who is a fan of Steven Spielberg's and would appreciate how he came to love making movies.

I don’t get it, am I watching a different movie. Made it about a 1/3 way through. Tried skipping forward but just have no drive to finish it. Boring, long, no connection to characters.

This is essentially Spielberg's _Almost Famous_. It's way too sentimental and white, which is a complaint that's often thrown at Spielberg's work (one I don't always agree with myself), but this is undeniably him at his most schmaltzy. Every genuine emotion is buried under such a deep layer of chees More

[9.0/10] There are scads of films about the magic of moviemaking. Hollywood can't resist the self-flattery. Audiences enjoy the suggestion that they’re doing something special. And more charitably, despite all the crap that comes with showbiz, when done right, the end product can genuinely move he More

I enjoyed my time with this one, but something about it felt a little hollow and incomplete. I enjoyed following Sammys life as he lived through the blossoming of videography and film technology, and being lucky enough to be on the forefront of contemporary film creation. You can almost feel the nos More

I saw several negative reviews before I watched this, and I assumed there was an element of grading someone a bit more harshly when they have achieved wild success or, heaven forbid, if they do stellar work in one genre such as sci-fi or adventure and then have the chutzpah to create a film in a dif More
