This was an amazing movie. The writing was superb and the acting stellar. As a die hard Daniel Day Lewis fan, I was still blown away by his ability to inhabit the character. I felt like that was really Abraham Lincoln on the screen. Tommy Lee Jones was fantastic and made us see the hippocrasy of the House of Representatives and gave us a view into the hidden aspects of lives of our public officials. Sally Field was powerful in her role and gave insight into the emotional struggles of a wife and mother as well as the influence of the woman behind the man. I feel grateful to Spielberg and Kushner for producing this masterpiece and for pursuing the casting decision with Day Lewis who has given us the gift of this performance.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, amazing cinematography, excellent costuming and makeup
