The Fabelmans - Reviews

...an infinitely tender, sometimes misty ode to the people who raised him and the singular passion for cinema that shaped him.

...may not be one of his greatest masterpieces, but it shines a beautiful light onto how he made them.

An autopsy of a marriage and a homage to invention, it’s a bittersweet piece of joy.

...absolutely the Spielberg film about Becoming Spielberg that we’ve been waiting for, echoing the world of child-like wonder and the tenacity to manifest dreams that his whole career has centred around.

Spielberg’s beguiling ode to a life made by movies will leave you on a high.

Spielberg's period drama evokes wonder.

Spoiler alert (although not if you’ve seen more than a few Spielberg films): Young Sammy and grownup Steven both find happy endings.

Spielberg’s lavish love letter to cinema.

A dazzling and bittersweet movie memoir.

...a genius embracing his regrets and in so doing, reminding us of how lucky we are that we all pay some version of this price, for ourselves and for one another.

We should all be so lucky, and fearless, to be able to look at our lives in the same way, but until then Spielberg is thankfully here to do it for us.

...a sweet, at times incredibly endearing, journey back.
