Great article and review Zach. And excellent choice for the list to the team. I appreciate so much about what you said about sincerity. I gave a presentation about this film last month and that was a large point of my presentation, sincerity and its increasing absence in the culture.
Thank you so much! It's a complaint that I've often seen thrown at Spielberg's movies as well — what one group sees as sentimental and meaningful, another (typically more modern group) views as trite and corny. It's a bummer but hopefully the more we call it out, the more people will be open to sincerity in their media consumption again.
