Overall, Spielberg is a satisfying and edifying look at a giant of cinema. Viewers will leave the film with a deeper appreciation not only of his exceptional craft, but also of the man himself...

Just because it's a familiar story, though, doesn't mean it won't hold you in the palm of its hand as it guides you through the filmography of the quintessential American filmmaker.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
An honest documentary about the master of entertainment. It's more personal than I thought it could be. [Full review in Spanish].

Cinelipsis
... 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.

L.A. Weekly
Though Spielberg could do with a sequel, for now it's a useful retrospective of a filmmaker whose influence on cinema cannot be overstated.

The Atlantic
Lacy consistently seduces us through its two and a half hour running time without ever slackening the energy or glossing over his shortcomings.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Steven Spielberg has built an unrivaled catalogue of groundbreaking films over the course of nearly fifty years. In this exclusive HBO documentary, Spielberg steps out from behind the camera to open up about his directorial influences and motivations, while sharing little-known stories behind some of his most iconic films. Producer/director Susan Lacy charts the evolution of this iconic filmmaker, having conducted nearly thirty hours of exclusive interviews with the famously private Spielberg, as well interviews with his family, friends and colleagues. Examining his impressively varied filmography, the documentary reveals how Spielberg's experiences fed his work and changed it over time, highlighting familiar themes – separation, reconciliation, patriotism, humanity, wonder – that recur in his work.
