- Excerpt: The Fabelmans is living proof Steven Spielberg hasn’t lost his touch as a filmmaker. What a heartwarming coming-of-age story that’s a love letter to cinema and family filled with lots of warmth.
- Travis Burgess @ Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: The Fabelmans’ is Spielberg’s best work in two decades
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Steven Spielberg’s reflection on his childhood is a deeply personal look into the director’s early life.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: THE FABELMANS is Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film, but it really adds little new to what is already known about Spielberg. It is an interesting parallel to Barry Levinson’s AVALON.
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Victoria Luxford @ City AM
- Excerpt: A brilliant love letter to family and cinema
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: This semi-autobiographical (actually very autobiographical) work is deeply personal and just as deeply moving.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It’s effective. Memorable even. But it’s also just sentimentally quaint. There are zero surprises. It’s merely a nice story told well that may be pretending it’s more because of the pedigree at its back.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: There’s a special joy in seeing Spielberg tell this story. A masterful filmmaker who is not above his own flaws has certainly found a proper path in delivering something reverential yet critical.
- Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- [New] | Luiz Santiago @ Plano Crítico [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Não é possível separar o enredo de Os Fabelmans da vida de seu diretor, porque o filme não foi concebido e nem vendido para que essa separação existisse.
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Steven Spielberg has dedicated his life to the movies. With The Fabelmans, he’s created a monument to that dedication that is a fitting tribute to both his own legacy and the artform on which he has left an indelible stamp.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ AuthorsDen
- Excerpt: I love the secret in this story. It surprises viewers and gives the film a whole new twist we don’t expect.
