The Fabelmans (2022, dir. Steven Spielberg) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
The Fabelmans was better than I was anticipating it to be. It wasn't the perfect movie, and Spielberg has a tendency to lean a little too much into the big sweeping moments of triumph or emotion. This was something that really worked for the big spectacle movies of his heyday (i.e. E.T., Close Encounters, etc.), but hasn't necessarily aged well and kind of detracts from those moments now more than adds to them. The whole movie also has what I've been calling the "Spielberg Sheen." It's not something I really know how to describe, but I feel like if you've seen any of Spielberg's films post-Munich you get what I'm talking about. It is beautiful and gives a lot of the movie a dream-like quality (I'm not entirely sure if that was the desired effect or, if it was, what significance that holds, but that's the impression I got from it). It's mostly innocuous, but I felt myself becoming distracted by it a lot, and I'm not certain that's a good thing.
However, the story surprised me. You walk into a Steven Spielberg movie expecting a certain sentimentality, at least, a lot of the most popular Spielberg films carry that frame of mind. I was expecting Fabelmans to have a lot of that sentimentality towards the art of making movies, the trailers sure marketed the film that way. However, while definitely having its moments of sentimentality, this takes the approach of showing a slightly uglier side of the artist's struggle. The ways in which the artist's brain can take instead of give, how the total dedication to a craft has the ability to consume and shut out, and that a happy ending one way doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending all around. It's an interesting, darker (albeit slightly) side to Spielberg's film making, one that doesn't come out but maybe once every 5th or 6th film. We saw it in Munich, you see it in Jaws, if you go real far back into his catalogue you can see it in a TV movie he did called Duel, and, although it wears the mask of his more grand movies, you can see it in The Fabelmans as well. Spielberg is undoubtedly a great director, and I wish he'd feel a little less beholden to himself sometimes and really allow his movies to breath their own air outside of just being quite-so "Spielbergian," because the best parts of The Fabelmans are the parts where he breaks away from that mold, and it puts it right on the borderline of being great.
Score: 7/10
Currently only in theaters.
Shoutouts to Seth Rogen and Paul Dano, who really stand out. Also, to David Lynch, who really steals the show in the final scene of the movie.

The lights change how everything looks. It's hard to find our house. Harsh is the dark house with no lights.
