The Fabelmans is not a film for those looking for super heroes, action or dumb humor. I can imagine a lot of people not liking this warm portrait of a family, a period in time (50s and 60s), and a story about one of our greatest film artists. I absolutely loved it and could have continued following the story into the 70s.

It is slow. I would not recommend it to everyone. But it is beautifully filmed with such care for the main characters that it felt like a love letter to the parents.

It takes bravery for an artist to portray himself knowing some will find it narcissistic. Thank you Mr Spielberg for sharing this story with us.
