The Fabelmans Reviews

This movie was RAW…PURE EMOTION, INCREDIBLE ACTING, and a powerful, real, relatable, gut and heart wrenching story. Almost made me cry multiple times, a truly moving story about the realities, ups and downs of life. Makes you really ponder about life, and what you are doing!

The Fabelmans is a film that shifts something inside you. Working through one of the most crushing events of his own life, Spielberg exhorts us to discover, yet again, the enduring magic of the movies.

The best part was David Lynch’s cameo

This was a great film. The acting was brilliant! I PERSONALLY did not like it. It felt longer than it was(and it’s already a long movie) and I truly wanted to watch a movie about filmmaking which unfortunately was overshadowed by the amount of family time. Decide for yourself

i thought the first act was like comically boring but it ended up settling into something unexpected and almost weird… ended up liking it in a surprising way

too relatable …

Me gusto, me parece una linda peli, una linda historia, amena, lindos personajes, muy tiernos, y tierna historia, linda filmada, muy amena diría.

boring at some parts 7/10

I never thought I would develop a crush on Steven Spielberg

The most charming film of 2022. I appreciated the honest and whole depiction of a struggling artist while also equally showing just how much sacrifice and dedication it takes to perfect your craft. A beautiful ode to filmmaking and it’s importance from the eyes of its lover.

I think there are some absolutely great family scenes in here. I love Sam’s struggle to comprehend his parents divorce and the camera to him was his way to control it. There are also some very bad scenes that feel too cliche to be true. The scenes when people watch Sam’s films are my favorite, the passion he has and displays being me to tears everytime

i honestly didn't expect every second of this to keep me hooked lol i really don't get how anyone can find this boring. the art vs family thing is so true and relatable. overall, this made me feel happy with spielberg's success in filmmaking 👏

7/10 Slow, but good story telling. Well shot, good acting but not great acting.

This has climbed up my Spielberg ranking in a pretty big way. Incredible bit of filmmaking, my love for the film is far greater than on the first watch.

Simply one of the most beautiful films, Spielberg’s blocking has always been on another level. Production design is remarkably immersive and brings together the image in a really impressive way. I think dialogue often seems pretty “dream-like” in that it feels sort of unnatural, but I think it works when viewing the film as a collection of Spielberg’s memories.

Gabriel LaBelle does an incredible job, it’s baffling how he hasn’t skyrocketed, instead doing some brilliant work in smaller films. He was great in Snack Shack, one of my favourites from 2024, which frankly not enough people have seen. Michelle Williams and Paul Dano pull-off some extraordinary work here too, especially the former, I find it continually surprising she hasn’t got an Oscar yet.

That final sequence with Lynch is seriously awe-inspiring stuff. All timer ending.

This movie dragged for me. I get the point of the film, but it didn’t move me like I hoped it would. The parents drove me bonkers. 🤪

This is the first time I've watched this movie since it came out. I've been slowly watching through Spielberg's movies and wanted to rewatch this with the context of his entire filmography, and I liked it more this time. I really felt it.

Love Lowly
Rating: 89

Questo film mi ha fatto prima sorridere poi piangere, una storia che sembra vera, personaggi reali con dinamiche e problemi reali, plausibili. Bellissimo il concetto della dipendenza dal creare arte. Non so quanto abbia fatto successo ma è davvero una perla.

Non ho mai particolarmente apprezzato Spielberg, in quanto ha spesso sprecato potenziale prostituendosi spudoratamente al commerciale (anche se infondo gli va riconosciuto l’aver creato il genere per bambini), ma in questo film ha mostrato tutta la sua bravura. Voto 10.

If you’re a director
