During the third act of the film, it kinda lost its footing, the movie became dragging, cliche, and pretentious. Also, Judd Hirsch is for sure a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, only in the movie for less than 10 minutes, but his character is pivotal for Sammy's growth. Paul Dano was great in this film, as well as Seth Rogen. However, it was Michelle Williams that stood out in this film-to say her performance is phenomenal is diminishing-she was terrific and captivating as Mitzi, a free-spirited mother with an extreme love for art. Gabriel LaBelle must have felt extreme pressure while playing this character, considering that he's playing one of the best filmmakers of all time, but he was able to give justice to the character at no fault. But, Gabriel LaBelle was great in this movie that he showed the emotional depth of the character, and his fascination with filmmaking translates to the audience. The movie focuses on Sammy, played wonderfully by Gabriel LaBelle, which sometimes comes off as a bit pretentious as a character. But, the movie is far from perfect as most of Spielberg's films. If you share the same love for film, like everyone here, you would certainly appreciate this movie. It is good to see him tell the story of his life while recognizing that his family is far from perfect and how a young man deals with one family crisis and overcoming it through the power of filmmaking. Steven Spielberg was able to articulate himself in a very raw yet profound way with his film, The Fabelmans. Steven Spielberg understands that love for art is not just a hobby but also an expression of one's self and exploration of humankind. The Fabelman is Spielberg's most personal film ever as he shared how he developed his passion for filmmaking while demonstrating the power of escapism the movies brought to his life. The Fabelmans is both a coming-of-age story and a love letter to filmmaking calling this movie a labor of love is an understatement.
