“Spielberg” (*** out of four) was an impressively done documentary about legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg who began his life as just a boy who loved movies and grew into one of the most successful and revolutionary filmmakers of all time, from his commercial smashes (“Jaws”, “Jurassic Park”) to his personal and artistic triumphs (“Saving Private Ryan”, “Schindler’s List.”) Features interviews with friends and fellow filmmakers George Lucas and Martin Scorcese and also Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio among many others. Story covers some of Spielberg’s lesser works and as a result loses some interest but is most fascinating when showing his filming and ideas for both “Schindler’s List” and “Private Ryan” and his initial film “Jaws” which all cemented him as one of the best directors ever.
