Review of The Fabelmans (2022) by Joelgreenberg — 19 Feb 2023
Having read reviews and year-end ,best of' lists, I anticipated something other than the film I saw. The Fabelmans is rare for me in that the characters and the events fail to ring true. However much the plot is tied directly to Spielberg's life story, the writing is clumsy, forced and oddly detached.
I understand that mine is a minority opinion, but I have to wonder whether the name Spielberg has led so many critics and prize-givers to offer such excessive praise.
