Steven Spielberg always left me entertained, but often disappointed in comparison with his fellow directors in his generation due to his often heavy handed sentimentality. In this film, it could have been even more of an issue as it's clearly a deeply personal film... it's not. It's absolutely a revelation. There isn't a misplaced scene & the acting is phenomenal.

I don't wish to add any details at all about the plot as it's something I think lovers of the cinema should see & they should see it in a theater. Don't stream this unless it's your only choice... not for CGI, but for the overwhelming power of the communal artistic experience of sitting in a dark room & having a story unfold. Beautiful. Bravo!
