I didn't expect to have such a strong reaction to The Fabelmans, given that Spielberg for the last ten years has mostly seemed like a bored master. But this is, once again, a film that risks grand unifying cinematic gestures while portraying each character in its large ensemble as utterly alone. None of its many conflicts is resolved. It's a film about the impossibility of ever really seeing someone, be it through the camera, through one's eyes, or through memory. The film highlights the melancholic beauty of trying anyway, which might be the essence of Spielberg's cinema.

Great horror movie about little passive aggressive gestures. It's like Showgirls and Mulholland Drive in that it's about how show business destroys female camaraderie. And it rejects the cruel binary of "strong" and "weak" women. Great performances by Caitlin FitzGerald and Mackenzie Davis.

Insane water dance in which countless of women jump from a waterfall into a pool where, seen from above, they form circles, snakes and all kinds of geometric shapes to eventually turn into a huge wedding cake. Just one of three unbelievable dance numbers.
