God I'm so mad I never thought of teen Spielberg's trick where he rigs a wooden board on a lever to simulate dirt explosions when he's shooting his war movie but then I also have to remember that he's Steven Spielberg and I am a dumb idiot

jonathan fujiiDec 2, 2022So glad he got to meet the greatest film director of all time, David Lynch.

goes above and beyond what you normally expect from a movie about movies. cheesy and over-sentimental at times but i wouldn’t want it any other way. if this is spielberg’s last i cannot think of a better shot to end on. one of the best of the year, easily. and this is all…

- Graham Hunt lovedThe Fabelmans
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!
JayJay dislikedThe FabelmansThis 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
Sabrina Bondi likedThe FabelmansThe 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.
- Jordan likedThe Fabelmans
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
Daniella is "meh" onThe FabelmansThe best part was David Lynch’s cameo
Shiv Reddy lovedThe FabelmansThe 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.

A movie for movie lovers.
CMcesar magdalenoI know it's by Steven Spielberg, wasn't aware of the premise but I'm guessing it's loosely based on his life (I'm not too familiar with cinema before the 80s) but was rather slow and almost awkwardly pointless with the movie heading in like 5 diff directions but ultimately…

If you’re looking for a film that explains where the Spielbergian tropes you know and love came from, then The Fabelmans is for you.

The Fabelmans left me with a floating feeling of happiness.

Immediately joining the first ranks of artists’ memoirs, Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans is both a vivid capturing of the auteur’s earliest flashes of filmmaking insight and a portrait, full of love yet unclouded by nostalgia, of the family that made him.
