The movie was visually compelling, the acting outstanding, especially by Daniel Day Lewis and the dialogue inspiring. I think the viewer would benefit by first reading Goodwin's book, so they wouldn't get bogged down trying to figure out each character's political position and viewpoint and ultimately, their importance in affecting history. This movie felt a little like a documentary, but it was emotionally compelling to witness the discord of the times and the impassioned viewpoints of the representatives, as they fought for their beliefs.
Pros great story, great actors, great dialogue
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.
