Now Playing: British Comedy Wicked Little Letters starring Olivia Colman!

7 Oscar Nominations

Nominated for 7 Oscars, including Best Picture & Best Director!

Growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, young Sammy Fabelman aspires to become a filmmaker as he reaches adolescence, but soon discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.

This semi-autobiographical new from Steven Spielberg won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival this past year.

Viewers expecting a stirring childhood memoir about the power of cinema may be surprised at how bittersweet and raw the story actually is. But that vulnerability is what makes the film a triumph.

The Atlantic

What could have been some kind of auto-hagiography is a playful, honest and ultimately gracious childhood memoir that derives its universal lessons from its specificity.
