The logline for the film reads: “Growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, a young man named Sammy Fabelman discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.” During the screening, performances that got the biggest reaction from the crowd were Judd Hirsch as the wacky and art-loving Uncle Boris, Gabriel LaBelle as the young Sammy Fabelman — a stand-in for Spielberg, himself — and David Lynch in a surprise cameo. After the screening, the audience inside the Princess of Wales theater gave the movie a lengthy standing ovation to the point where TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey had to ask everyone to sit down so they could start the Q&A.
Spielberg added, “This is something I have been thinking about for a long time. I didn’t really know when I was going to get around to this. This is not because I am going to retire and this is my swan song, I promise.”
