In his weekly column, Shawn Sullivan offers his take on Steven Spielberg's latest film, "The Fabelmans."

All of his career, Spielberg often blended escapism and wild fiction to explore his own painful memories and the themes that recurred in his youth. But I do not believe Spielberg wanted to make a film to celebrate the lore of his career or help lock down his place in film history. A scene involving a train wreck seems to rattle and fascinate him at the same time, enough so that he needs to work through the anxiety he’s experiencing as a result of witnessing the spectacle. These awards do not mean anything to anybody who is not a part of the film industry. I consider it Spielberg’s best film in several years and his most emotionally engaging one since “Saving Private Ryan.” “The Fabelmans” won Best Drama Motion Picture, and Spielberg took the Best Director award.

'The Fabelmans' star Paul Dano details the emotional journey he took to portray a fictional version Of Steven Spielberg's father.

And it’s incredible that so many people do it, and I certainly feel fortunate that I’m getting to do it now in a way that I want to and that I feel really good about. And then you made me believe again in a very different context.’ And speaking of Sammy and what The Fabelmans is about, it was seeing actors who could take you somewhere that felt like a character, a world, and a life. So, the example of going from The Batman to The Fabelmans is just that I feel so lucky that I would get to do something so different. I also love when I can believe in the final product because I don’t just do this for me; I need to believe in what we’re all making as well. I remember going to audition after audition and what it felt like to get or not get a part. It’s really fun in a way to have all of that run through you [as an actor] as well, meaning I was letting Arnold into my life but letting Burt lead the way. I always saw this wonderful parallel there, which said so much about Arnold with the way his brain worked through engineering and electronics, much in the way that I think Steven works through movies. And I think it’s some combination of not being able to see or acknowledge or face the truth while also knowing and trying to contain it for the sake of his family. In terms of what I saw in his eyes, his father had passed about eight months before we first spoke, and it was hard for me to process that in real-time. And it certainly wasn’t, but I think he was doing that for the sake of his family, and I think he did that because he still loved Mitzi. But once he told me about the idea, I felt very strongly about the project in terms of how I might meet the material, what I might have to offer, and how it resonates with me. Here, Dano reveals his deep research and close work with the director to capture the true essence of a life well-lived.

The Fabelmans is not on Netflix, and it will likely not be on Netflix anytime soon. But it’s also possible that The Fabelmans will arrive on Peacock after 90 days in theaters, around the first week of February 2023. There is not yet a Peacock streaming release date for The Fabelmans. The Fabelmans is a Universal Pictures movie and has a natural streaming home at Universal’s streaming service, Peacock. That’s likely because The Fabelmans is a contender for Best Picture at the Oscars, and Universal is hoping to get the most out of the box office. In the case of The Fabelmans, that means November 2026.

The movie follows Sam Fabelman (mostly played as a teen by Gabriel LaBelle, wonderful in the role) as he discovers his own passion for film and grows up in both Arizona and California. But it's not that; the movie is an honest coming-of-age tale that feels real, well, because it is. When COVID hit, Spielberg, like many others, started questioning the future of the film industry. Anyone who's got even a smidge of interest in movies knows the name Steven Spielberg. The movie features Paul Dano and Michelle Williams as Burt and Mitzi Fabelman—based on Spielberg's parents—along with Seth Rogen as his "Uncle" Benny, his dad's best friend, and Judd Hirsch as the scene-stealing Uncle Boris; the ensemble cast in this movie, to put it frankly, crush.

The Jewish songwriter has won all four of the Golden Globes for which he has been nominated, all for work with the filmmaker Damien Chazelle, his college roommate. The Fabelmans, which also won best picture among dramas, tells the story of a child who falls in love with filmmaking and laces his family’s Jewish identity into the storytelling. Also winning at this year’s Golden Globes was Jewish actress Julia Garner for her Netflix show Ozark and Justin Hurwitz, who was named best original score for Babylon. During the awards ceremony, host Jerrod Carmichael joked that he watched The Fabelmans with Kanye West “and it changed everything for him” — alluding to the rapper’s months-long antisemitic tirade that has cost him millions in sponsorships and led to him becoming a show-business pariah.

Her story holds up a mirror to the many ways America avoids the truth about itself, but it takes up more than half of the running length.

In 1977, we stepped out into the daylight after the dazzling secular epiphany of Close Encounters and said to ourselves, 'yeah well this and that shark movie were pretty good, but what I really want to see him make is a film about his childhood in suburbia, his parents' divorce and how he developed a passion for moviemaking. Mother Mitzi (Williams) is a talented concert pianist who has sidelined her talent to build a family with husband Burt (Dano) who is an electronics and computers whizz. He was always the best at starting a movie, grabbing his audience instantly and plugging them into his vision.

In one short scene in Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical drama, the 87-year-old actor delivers the film's most galvanizing message.

So I asked, “Who would I play?” Steven said, “A great-uncle of mine.” I said, “What does he do in the movie?” He said, “He made me become a director.” And then this guy in Steven’s movie actually started out in the circus. The message from this oracle that I played will be sent through as a sort of nugget in everybody’s heart. I got a Zoom call from Steven Spielberg, and it started out with “SS wants to talk to JH.” I said, “Who is SS? As Boris, a version of Spielberg’s eccentric great-uncle, Hirsch delivers a compelling speech to the film’s young protagonist, Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), that convinces him to follow his passion for filmmaking. At 87 years old, Hirsch is best known for his Emmy-winning role in Taxi and Oscar-nominated turn in 1980’s Ordinary People, but The Fabelmans proves he still has more than a few tricks left up his sleeve.
