This is clearly the most passionate Spielberg has been about a film since Schindler's List. This film is essentially his origin story. The story of how one of the greatest and most influential directors came to fruition. His style is ever present, and visually, this is one of his best films. The acting from everybody was fantastic. The lead whom I am not familiar with, and of course Michelle Williams and Paul Dano. They were great. My main issue with the film is that it is very melodramatic. It's cheesy. And I'm quite aware that most of Spielberg's films are like that. But in the case of this film, it was a bit hard to take seriously. Overall, The Fabelmans is a perfect thanksgiving film, and it's very inspiring.
