Growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, young Sammy Fabelman aspires to become a filmmaker as he reaches adolescence, but soon discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.
Editor's Verdict
"The Fabelmans is a biographical coming-of-age drama focused on filmmaking, family secrets, and adolescence. The only identified Christmas element is its 'Holiday Release,' which speaks to marketing, not narrative content. The plot, setting, themes, and iconography show no meaningful connection to the Christmas season."
