Today it’s my great pleasure to host an important piece by filmmaker and film professor David Brett. And stay tuned for a special post on last night’s “Succession” later today!
I really appreciated this take; the basic notion of "costuming" as Jewish is strange and often disturbing. I was not a fan of The Fabelmans, despite all the love it got, for some of the reasons the author presents. Michelle Williams doing her valiant best to be a certain kind of Jewish mother (uncomfortable to watch) and the sterotypical Judd Hirsch affectations really soured me on this film.
