I was enchanted by this movie. Perhaps because I'm nearly the same age as Steven Spielberg; perhaps because I have grown disenchanted with Hollywood and the continual parade of overblown action films and just plain poor quality movies that are turned out one after another, full of violence and graphic sex and little else; or perhaps because The Fablemans is a masterpiece crafted by the greatest director of this, or perhaps any, generation. The characters in the Fabelmans are depicted as real people living through real events which shaped their lives and the world around them without hyperbole or wasted footage. I wish that It had been 2 hours longer.
