The Fabelmans

CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.7

A boy growing up in postwar America discovers a passion for making movies, using a camera to turn family adventures into stories. As he enters adolescence, filmmaking becomes more than a creative outlet, helping him navigate changing family relationships, growing pains, and difficult truths.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like reflective coming-of-age stories about family, growing up, and finding a creative passion, with a warm nostalgic mood; Not for you if you prefer brisk pacing or tightly focused plots.
