The Fabelmans (2022)

A slow, overlong coming of age pic, with didactic dialogue and some clunky acting - the young actors are all just about okay, while Dano, Williams and Rogen are stilted. It felt like Spielberg indulging in a therapy session more than anything, and I suspect if JJ Abrams had directed this picture, people would have been a lot less forgiving of it. Better to watch Super 8 or Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made.

Rating: Fine.
