Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4562462, member: 974"] [B]The Fablemans (2022)[/B] Who would thunkit? Steven Spielberg's life is a bad movie. None of it feels very real. Although the acting is good, the characters are not given any depth. We are told the father is a genius but he never shows it. Michelle Williams may be the best actor of her generation. But she never gives herself to anyone in the film. It's a cold and shallow performance. The only real drama in the film comes from the anti-Semitic high school bullies especially Logan played by Sam Rechner. The relationship between Logan and young Sam is the most honest and believable part of the film. The cinematography, editing, sound, etc are all first class, it is Speilberg afterall. But this is an very plain 151 minutes with a few good moments. David Lynch is great as John Ford, one of the few bright spots in the movie. Two stars. [/QUOTE]
