While I don't think this is Spielberg's best movie he's done it's far from his worst. Every actor and actress if top notch except for one and that's Michelle Williams. Everytime she was on screen I was tempted to fast forward because of how awful he performance was. How she got an Oscar nomination is baffling to me. The story was great because of how personal it was to Spielberg. Dano was the standout of the movie along with Hirsch. All around solid movie but didn't blow me away like he has done before. If Spielberg wins best director it'll probably be for his career as a whole. Would recommend.
