"The acting is uniformly good, but Michelle Williams is exceptional." (Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic)

"The Fabelmans left me with a floating feeling of happiness." (Peter Bradshaw, Guardian)

"The Fabelmans is entertaining enough, but perhaps what’s best about it is that Spielberg got it out of his system. After this, he won’t ever need to make a film about himself or his parents again. (Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle)
