"The Fabelmans" is being billed as Steven Spielberg's most personal film, tracing (through a fictional version of his family) his cinema-sotted youth in Arizona and Northern California. But just how "personal" is it, really? How true is it to Spielberg's formative experiences, including encounters with antisemitism and his parents' profound marital struggles?
At a Q&A after the world premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, Spielberg and his cast shared some insight into the movie, which is scheduled to hit theaters at Thanksgiving.
Q: Is this autobiographical opus, one of his only feature screenwriting credits and his first screenplay credit since 1982's "Poltergeist," intended to wrap up Spielberg's career?
