spielberg's autobiographical story is great at showing the aw of movie making and the general misunderstanding of the artform but it does this while it switches between it to a somewhat boring family drama.
its not terrible but its not interesting after the 1st half at all.with that said i still liked the film and i wasn't gonna drink tonight....but i miss david lynch like a motherfucker.
