But, soon he discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.
“This is Spielberg’s most personal film, and it’s intriguing to watch him pay homage to the directors who made up his group of friends in the early 1970s.”
-The Boston Globe
“The Fabelmans is beautiful, involving, often spellbinding. Spielberg has now demonstrated that he can look inward, as well as outward, and still command every frame.”
-The Baltimore Magazine
