“A mediocre film”: Joyce Carol Oates attacks Spielberg’s ‘The Fabelmans’

Joyce Carol Oates She is an active tweeter, who, beyond her literary activities, likes to comment on everything on social networks. Especially cinema, as we saw when he launched to defend Blonde. Andrew Dominic had taken to the cinema the adaptation that Oates herself made of the life of marilyn monroe beside Ana de Armas as an actress: the film released on Netflix was met with destructive opinions from the public and critics, which Oates did not hesitate to confront via Twitter. Although the poor reception rules out the presence of Blonde In a good part of the awards in the current career, De Armas’ work has been applauded enough not to rule it out entirely.

So it happens that Blonde compete, more or less, with The Fabelmans in the Oscar competition. The autobiographical film Steven Spielberg recently triumphed at the Golden Globes confirming itself as front runnerand Oates then took the opportunity to give his assessment of the film… which is not too positive. The Fabelmanswhich will arrive Feb. 10 to Spain, has a cameo David Lynch playing the legendary john fordin a scene that has already gone around social networks and that for the writer of pure fire It turns out to be the only appreciable thing about the film. “This was the most imaginative scene of The Fabelmanswhich on the whole is a remarkably mediocre film for all the attention and awards it’s getting.”Oates tweeted.
