What a beautiful story about Stephen Spielberg's childhood and adolescence. This story is much more than just a love lotter to cinema, as many reviewers have phrased it. This film is about independence, confidence, passion, conflicts of art vs. family and love vs. duty. It resonated so much with me despite being such a different experience from my own. This is what movies should do!
Movies and the moviegoing experience can be so personal and leave such an impact. I loved watching Spielberg's journey and how making movies helped him connect with his family, friends, communities, and himself. I can't praise this film enough--go see it!
