The movie "The Fabelmans" is the worst film directed by Steven Spielberg so far. I am not sure if it was intentional but the film looks amateurish and not made by the incredible director.

The movie is very poorly written, with childish and sometimes incoherent lines. And worst of all, are the performances, perhaps due to the script. Michelle Williams over-performed Mitzi Fabelman, the matriarch, and Seth Rogen as Bennie Loewy seem like a robot reading a manuscript. Even the plot inspired by some facts from Spielberg's childhood is conventional: the boy who likes to film the family's activities, the boy who is bullied in school, and a secret in the family.

If Spielberg wanted to pay homage to cinema, he failed miserably. The only scene that deserves attention is the final 10 minutes. If you want to experiment the influence cinema in someone's life watch "Cinema Paradiso" or "The Purple Rose of Cairo"
