For years I’ve been waiting for Steven Spielberg to write an autobiography. I should have known that it would be in movie form! The Fabelmans was co-written and directed by Spielberg and is based on his childhood. It follows the fictitious Fabelman family from the 1950s to the late 60s, specifically from young Sammy’s perspective. … Continue reading The Fabelmans

Tár
Trigger warning: movie discusses suicide If you thought Beethoven had a tough time, try being Cate Blanchett. Lydia Tár is a famous maestra for the Berlin Symphony.
