...wants to reckon in a meaningful way with the idea that cinema - like any art form - can be powerful and revealing and magical... but [also] can be just as dishonest as it is honest.


The Fabelmans is beautiful involving often spellbinding. Spielberg has now demonstrated that he can look inward as well as outward and still command every frame.
