How lucky are we to be living in the same time when Steve Spielberg is making movies? 🥹🩷 He doesn’t get older, he only gets better.
#DisclosureDay is spectacular. There’s flavours of Close Encounters, War of the Worlds, Minority Report and E.T. in here, but the original story he’s crafted with David Koepp is truly a reflection of our tumultuous times. A blockbuster that moves as well as entertains.
He’s a master mixologist when it comes to genres. There’s sci-fi, action, horror, adventure, conspiracy thriller, spirituality and comedy all working harmoniously. At 79 y/o Spielberg still knows how to execute breath-taking action sequences. Essentially, it’s the most profound 2 hour chase-film you’ll ever watch.
The emotional-elasticity of Emily Blunt’s performance is insane. Domingo is the sage voice of wisdom. Eve Hewson is a revelation. Josh O’Connor was sadly the weak link for me.
But I was just in total awe throughout.
There’s a reason Spielberg is the GOAT, when he talks, we lean in and listen. And what he’s saying here is we are in dire need of more empathy. Full review to follow tomorrow.
