This week I deep dive The Fabelmans. This incredibly personal film based on the real story of Steven Spielberg's childhood. This 2022 masterpiece hit so close to home for me, and it has now made it to my Letterboxd Top 4. This film is a 40 million dollar therapy project as declared by Spielberg himself. It lets us as the audience look behind the magic to the real person underneath.
Along with this film itself references used in the creation of this episode are listed below.
