Well Told, Educationally Relevant, and Oscar Deserved

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2015)

For a movie that was a long time in the writing and forming, this film hit the ground running with brilliance. I am an Australian and was captivated in an educational wave of united states history. I learned a lot through this movie. The acting line up and dramatisation skills were excellent. I can see how Day-Lewis won the Oscar for best actor. There were a couple random pop ups of well known actors that showed their faces for a few moments. Tommy Lee Jones was exceptional as usual. The cinematic work done in this film was well structured and presented to portray certain emotional scenes. There was a lot of effort and skill that went into this movie and I applaud the workers. It truly captivates you in one of the biggest law changes of history.
