” earned a roaring standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, as the crowd of movie lovers cheered loudly for the Oscar-winning auteur as he made his first appearance at the gathering.
“As things got worse and worse, I felt that if I was going to leave anything behind, what was the thing that I really need to resolve and unpack about my mom, my dad,” Spielberg said. The film started about 15 minutes late, a small miracle given the crush of audience members waiting outside the Princess of Wales theater, because the premiere of “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” had bled into the launch of “The Fabelmans.” Spielberg was introduced by TIFF creative director Cameron Bailey, who said he was awestruck to be introducing the legend . Bailey recalled being 12 years old and falling in love with film thanks to work from Spielberg.
“This film is, for me, a way of bringing my mom and my dad back,” said Spielberg, who dedicated the movie to his mother, Leah. The director’s three sisters — Anne, Nancy and Sue — were all in the audience at “The Fabelmans” premiere. The official synopsis for the movie from TIFF reads: “‘The Fabelmans’ is a coming-of-age story about a young man’s discovery of a shattering family secret and an exploration of the power of movies to help us see the truth about each other and ourselves.” The film is based on Spielberg’s own childhood, with Williams and Dano starring as variations of the filmmaker’s parents. Spielberg co-wrote the script with his “Lincoln,” “Munich” and “West Side Story” screenwriter Tony Kushner.
