I honestly don't know what I expected or needed this film to be, but somehow it still did something to me. I've fallen in love with movies a long time ago and considering the fact that that is what this movie is about, I guess I shouldn't be surprised..... In the end I think it kind of comes down to it being the right film at the right time. I'm sort of coming off of one of the worst times of my life rn and I think I really needed to be reminded how much I love filmmaking and why I should still try to pursue it.

As a film, it's not really a masterpiece, but I think we all knew that going in, but it is a good film, I'll give it that. I absolutely adored how Spielberg directed the film in the same ways that Sammy directed his films (at times obvious, at times surprisingly subtle), and I think it's just another small touch that's verry much appreciated in a film that's basically a love letter to cinema.

All in all, I really enjoyed it.
