    9 / 10

    Steven Spielberg presents his warmest, most loving, most personal project, as "The Fabelmans" sees the legendary filmmaker retell the story of his childhood through the magic of an Amblin movie. The result is a therapeutic, emotional, raw, funny, endearing ode to family, artists, and the power of cinema.

    If it all feels a little sanitized and idealized, it's also consistently lovely — and after 75 years and 34 films, who more than Spielberg has earned the right to revisit his stardust memories?

  • 2. Nöjesguiden
    8.3 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Through the camera lens, and especially in front of the editing table, Sammy gains insight into the cracks in her parents' relationship. It's a painful yet reluctant realization, even if the audience may have sensed it long before Sammy did. This is not least thanks to Williams' phenomenally nuanced performance. She is the heart of a multi-layered and heart-wrenching portrayal of a childhood that might have been difficult to comprehend back then.
    - Calle Wahlström

    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "The Fabelmans" begins as a lighthearted comedy with an almost theatrical performance. But after Grandma's death, the tone shifts somewhat. Sammy's mother falls into depression, and he discovers how the precious 8mm reels have the power to lift the household's spirits, but also reveal secrets that risk tearing the family apart.

  • 6. Göteborgs-Posten
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: When Steven Spielberg makes a film about his childhood in New Jersey and his teenage years first in Arizona, then in California, it becomes a love letter to the magic of movie theaters, and a true Hollywood film.
