The Fabelmans is Steven Spielberg's love letter to film and is loosely based on Spielberg's childhood.

It follows a young man named Sammy Fableman growing up in post-WW2 era Arizona.

He discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of movies helps us see the truth about each other and ourselves.

I grew up as a child watching Spielberg's movies like a lot of you did, films such as Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and my personal favourite E. T.

So seeing a film made by him loosely about him was inspiring and lovely to see.

There are a few things that happen in this film that probably happened to a lot of you watching it and Spielberg tells his side of things wonderfully well.

A true storyteller.

The film could be about 30 minutes shorter and maybe some scenes not necessary, but with this potentially being Spielberg's last, it's fitting for the world's best-known director.

The score performed by John Williams was mesmerizing at times and the performances of Michelle Williams stood out in particular.

This film has a director's nomination at the Oscars which if it was to win I would be delighted.

So, what's my rating you ask?

4.5/5 stars or 8.5/10.

Would I recommend it? Yes would I see it again? Yes.
