	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A thoughtful examination of a gifted and influential filmmaker (...) It not only intensifies appreciation for his work, it gives you a sense of why he is who he is."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is made with an intelligent effusiveness (...) [If] you’re a Spielberg believer, then you’re likely to find this movie an intensely pleasurable double hit of eye candy and mind candy"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"It's the nearly 30 hours of interviews that Lacy conducted with her cheerfully self-reflective subject that give 'Spielberg' its revelatory oomph and make it so memorable."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"'Spielberg' the documentary succeeds most distinctively where Mr. Spielberg the director has: accessing the child in its subject."	POS
United States	Alan Scherstuhl LA Weekly	"Lacy’s doc offers some insights directly and might nudge you to others (...) Lacy emphasizes Spielberg’s genius for expressive motion (...) but doesn’t delve deeply into craft"	NEU
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"A deep dive into the psyche of the auteur (...) You learn a lot (...) thanks to Lacy’s nuanced interviewing style"	POS
