David F This is a fantastic documentary about the filmmaker with a star studded cast of talking heads including the director himself, carefully reviewing his impressive career. At times it feels mythmaking, like the story about how Spielberg couldn’t get into USC but did take a tour of Universal Studios, hiding in the bathroom until the tour moved on, in order to get his start in Hollywood, but for the most part it’s an excellent review and explication of the many films of Spielberg, with an attentiveness to his career trajectory, the themes of his films, the effect of his personal life on his filmmaking, and his family. Spielberg made himself available for seemingly innumerable interviews and discussed everything from the overarching themes of his career to some of the specific filmmaking techniques he has used over the years and why he used them. If you like Spielberg or have gone to the movies anytime over the past 50 years there will be something new you will learn from this fascinating documentary.

The entire crew did a spectacular job on this documentary on the legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. It goes into specific detail on his life and what inspired him to create all of the classic films he made throughout his career. He's a true visionary and there will be no one like him. If you haven't seen this documentary, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review farah r After watching The Fablemans, I was intrigued to learn more about Steven Spielberg's childhood and early life. Luckily HBO created a wonderful documentary about him that featured everything I'd hoped to know and more. If you're a fan of the legendary director behind some of Hollywood's best blockbusters, Spielberg is definitely worth watching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review alex i Seeing Spielberg and his rise to glory was a humble tale about a boy who loved messing around with a camera, only to turn into one of the biggest and successful icons in film history. I loved the fact that Steven, George, Martin ...etc were considered outcasts and the rat pack of Hollywood. Now being iconic for they're films and praised. But as well, we learn that Steven went through struggles like all human beings. Some talk about it or find a hobby to cover it up, while Steven used films to express his experiences that he had gone through in life. Now that is someone with a story. If you love Spielberg and his work, this documentary is great and a must watch for fans of his work.
