Review of The Fabelmans

The sort of film that I think is meant to be heart-warming...a semi-autobiographical coming of age thing by and about Steven Spielberg...apparently he waited until his parents were dead before it was finally made, though his sister wrote the screenplay. 

I was a bit bored at the beginning...it looks up briefly in the middle, but it's a bit self-indulgent and not all that engaging. Sometimes films about movies are great, but this isn't one of those.

I don't know how autobiographical it is, but the not making it until the parents were dead suggests that it must have been seen as potentially hurtful to them.

Watched via informal distribution and an HDMI cable.
