Cinema
The best from Spielberg in a long time
Films Reviews
Thu, Feb 02, 2023
It hasn’t been a great decade for Steven Spielberg, I really didn’t enjoy last years West Side Story and the film he directed before, Ready Player One, was the worst film he’s ever made. Last year, like plenty of other directors, he’s gone for a little introspection. He’s wrote something about his own life and made an autobiographical film about his childhood. A little like Kenneth Branagh with Belfast last year.
