The just don't make movies like this anymore. The Fabelmans harks back to filmmaking pre-capes and CGI, with a collection of excellent character studies, even better acting, and Spielberg showing us how he became the master.

Sammy Fabelman is the pre-Jaws Spielberg, a young filmmaker going through family crisis, anti-semitism, and puberty blues in Arizona and then California. We are provided millions of delicious Easter Eggs from Spielberg's filmography; with each subplot a self-contained little story that ultimately contributes to the whole.

Dano is a generational talent, with Williams more than holding her own, and LaBelle brilliant as the teenage filmmaker. The Fabelmans has everything; humour, pathos, darkness and drama, all working together to create a sensational film. 9/10.
