The Fablemans is an ordinary tale about an extraordinary person. Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film. While Spielberg described it as his most personal film, it does not hit the heights of Spielberg's signature films. It is still a nice film and a fond tribute to his passion and love of cinema. When you reach the great heights of Spielberg you can easily put out a passion project.

The performances are great and really carry this film. Michelle Williams is a standout and delivers a strong performance. I was waiting for the film to take off but I realised it is at the same space or gear for its running. Overall not a bad film but not a spectacular one either. It almost felt like a whole bunch of home made movies from a person's childhood was put together. It is quite ordinary but there was some value in watching the humble beginnings of one of the greatest directors of all time.
