Mr Spielberg has done it again! I thoroughly enjoyed this film, which brought back a great deal of memories from my own childhood , including being raised in New Jersey and moving around alot. Paul Dano was deeply affecting in his role as patriarch. The acting was stellar with an Oscar - worthy performance by Michelle Williams as the Matriarch of the family . Seth Rogen deserves an Oscar nod as well . John Williams classical pieces were brilliant. I left the theater with a smile at the end. I am a huge fan of motion pictures and an amateur photographer so I was enthralled at seeing his early start at what has been a lifelong passion and his โtrue calling โ , Now that there is an option to rent it at home on Prime I will likely watch this film again . It touched my heart . I highly recommend this film โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
