Haven't seen it yet, but I will. Tom, since you're a history buff and a Connecticut resident you must have heard about the controversy...

Great movie... and not entirely what I expected. Superb acting (Day-Lewis especially).

Definitely worth seeing.

I loved Doris Kearns-Goodwin's book!

Thanks for the comments. I've never found a work by Goodwin anything less than excellent. Always enjoy hearing her comments on the NewsHour.
Still trying to figure out why Kushner changed reality on such a blatant issue as the Connecticut vote on that very important change of direction for the USA. Seems it just added a divisive, and unnecessary, fillip to the story. I'd think that could have been done in a "less invasive" way. I was hoping it was just due to some bad editing, but if Kushner admitted it, well ...
