DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
THE FABELMANS - John Williams
"In making this nostalgic and unapologetically sentimental look back, Spielberg has brought an absolutely incredible team along with him. Co-written by Tony Kusher (Lincoln) and Spielberg (his first screenplay since 2001’s 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence'), 'The Fabelmans' takes great care in bringing Spielberg’s story to life, and even though this is an extremely personal story, 'The Fabelmans' always remains poignant and almost emotionally overwhelming. Janusz Kaminski’s warm cinematography adds the glow of memory and love for a time long past in every frame, while John Williams’ score is naturally moving, yet never overwhelms the story at hand."
Ros Binaime, Collider
"In other words, the bittersweet elegy that is 'The Fabelmans' feels like the climax of all-things-Spielberg, once again caressed by Janusz Kaminski‘s crisp, gleaming lens and John Williams‘ gently nostalgic score. It’s a delicate and sprawling work, one that lovingly honors Spielberg’s Jewish upbringing on the one hand and openly laments his parents’ parting with startling honesty and generosity on the other, with his film obsession remaining a constant through it all. That passion for cinema is Spielberg’s entry into 'The Fabelmans,' with the young and visibly scared Sammy Fabelman (portrayed by Mateo Zoryan Francis-DeFord in childhood) standing outside of a movie theater with his parents Mitzi (Michelle Williams, sensational and otherworldly in one of her career-best roles) and Burt (Paul Dano, quietly poignant), reluctant about watching his first movie, 'The Greatest Show on Earth.' But Cecil B. DeMille does his trick, and Sammy gets bitten by the movie bug right then and there, leaving the theater with a pair of preciously wide-open eyes that will be warmly familiar to any cinephile who can recall the moment their own love for film was born."
Tomris Laffly, The Playlist
"In crafting 'The Fabelmans,' Spielberg harnessed several of his frequent collaborators: co-scriptwriter Tony Kushner, cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, editors Sarah Broshar and Michael Kahn, and composer John Williams -- all of whom add their signature polish to this most personal Spielberg delectation. Notably, Sammy’s experiences as a victim of antisemitism also make up a significant portion of the drama, a facet of the story that has become culturally topical again."
Marjorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle
