So many great performances

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2018)

There are many things that make this a great movie, starting with the great performances of Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln, Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens. What really makes this movie extraordinary is the performances of so many actors in smaller roles.If you watch David Strathairn as Seward, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robert Lincoln, James Spader as W.N. Bilbo and Bruce McGill as Stanton, what you see is a fantastic cast pulling off an amazing job as a group. This is, in my opinion, simply great direction. Best thing Spielberg has done to date
