The Fabelmans (2022)

This movie, let's face it, would be completely ignored if it'd been written/directed by a nobody. And it should be ignored -- it's lazy and boring and inept. A teenage girl proclaiming something along the lines of "Dad's always been Mom's biggest fan"? No. A high school bully/golden boy having an existential crisis over one of his victims trying to please the bully? That would never happen -- the bully would simply accept it as his due. I have no idea why Hollywood's pretending this is a masterpiece rather than a masturbatory mess.

The actors are not to blame here; everyone does their job as well as they can. It's just not a story worth telling. And, if it were, it should still have to be told BETTER.
