Directed by well-known Steven Spielberg the movie focuses on The Fabelmans family headed by dad Burt (Paul Deno excellent in movies Prisoners , There will be blood) mom Mitzi(Michelle Williams too many great movies including Manchester by the Sea, Brokeback Mountain)son Sammy ((Gabriel LaBelle ),daughters Natalie, Reggie and Lisa and uncle Bennie Loewy(Seth Rogen from The Guilt trip ) not really related to The Fablemans but a dear friend of Burt. Happy family of six plus one spend lot of time together and enjoy camping. Picnics, dinners. Mitzi a pianist entertains family. Both Burt and Mitzi instill love for the movies in young reluctant Sammy. Sammy gets interested in camera and photography and takes lots of pictures of family in different settings. Children have a very healthy relationship with their mom, dad and uncle Bennie. The scene when overzealous Mitzi drives Sammy and two young daughters to watch tornado with Burt standing on the porch holding baby girl is beautiful. When the family moves to Arizona and Mitzi makes sure her husband gets Bennie a job so he could stay with the family and not be left behind shows true separation anxiety. The scenes when Mitzi's long, well manicured nails are targeted by both Burt and Bennie show lot of involved caring for each other. The movie shows true love and caring of a devoted mother for her children and beautiful bonding between son and mom who have artistic talents whereas the dad is very involved in science and technology. Michelle Williams is excellent as Mitzi who is extremely happy to love and be with all who love her is again Oscar worthy. Good to see subdued and toned down Seth Rogen as Bennie. Paul Dano as Burt did very well. Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy is definitely talented and well suited for the role of a son who loves his trustworthy dad and non-judgemental of a talented mom full of love and happiness with 2 men in her life. 2hrs31min long could be edited. Oscar worthy acting. Oscar worthy Direction.
