A must for serious students of American history.

Rating: 6/10 (27 February 2017)

I watched this advanced work, depicting American history, and it was rather hard to take in. The film cannot be classified as entertaining, unless the viewer seeks perfection. One cannot be too critical, as the effort put into the epic film was substantial, but i did not find it easy viewing. I might have found the experience more rewarding, in the company of serious 19th century law students, University lecturers, and American historians. Sadly i was not. The film of course has fine performances, and it looks good, but i cannot see myself ever watching it again, but have enjoyed other Spielberg work, rather more than once.
