Spielberg Reviews
Newsday
Diane Werts
Lacy has mined everything, it seems, except perhaps too little naysaying.
indieWire
Ben Travers
Spielberg still feels like a respectful appreciation of a beloved figure more than an insightful study. There's nothing wrong with that, but ... it's also OK to ask for more.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Ehat do its 145 minutes (an appropriately Spielberg-ian chunk of time) really tell us about Steven Spielberg, aside from the fact that the man has made a lot of movies? Not much.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Spielberg will make movie lovers happy, or, more accurately, just remind them how happy its subject made them in the past.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
This is a fitting and thorough tribute to a director whose work has left an enormous footprint on the popular culture.
Entertainment Weekly
Kevin P. Sullivan
A totally effective guided tour of his life and works, playing all of the greatest hits along the way, but it's also a relatively safe one, choosing to speed past some notable disappointments.
TheWrap
Brian Welk
The HBO documentary Spielberg is a lot like some of the legendary director's films: it's well-made, thoughtful, emotional and maybe a little long.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Though Spielberg could do with a sequel, for now it's a useful retrospective of a filmmaker whose influence on cinema cannot be overstated.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
This is a documentary that could and should be shown in film schools.
Los Angeles Times
Chris Barton
... it's a testimony to Spielberg's career that a two-and-a-half-hour documentary on his life and work could both feel too long in some places and yet oddly inadequate in others.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Lacy consistently seduces us through its two and a half hour running time without ever slackening the energy or glossing over his shortcomings.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
To anyone who has grown up consuming Spielberg's work, Lacy has delivered a documentary that will speak to them too -- one that at its best approximates the feeling of the last 40-some-odd years of movie-making flashing before your eyes.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A remarkable look at what shaped both Spielberg's art and the man who created it.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
The Steven Spielberg portrayed in Susan Lacy's satisfyingly comprehensive 2 1/2 -hour HBO documentary "Spielberg" is a wide-open book.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Insightful and surprisingly intimate.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
With its penetrating look at a career that now spans half a century, "Spielberg" enriches a series of films that you - or, at least, some of us - never get tired of thinking about.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
After 2 1/2 hours of genuflecting, Spielberg may well leave viewers asking what exactly was the point
New York Times
James Poniewozik
For all its sweep, Spielberg the documentary succeeds most distinctively where Mr. Spielberg the director has: accessing the child in its subject.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
What's most revealing, here, is his self-awareness, the way that he anticipates and acknowledges what we suspect about him just from viewing the films.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A surprisingly intimate and thoughtful examination of the life and career of one of the most successful and influential of filmmakers, "Spielberg" pulls back the curtain on the former boy wonder as he turns 70.
