Daniel Day-Lewis is possibly one of the finest actors of a generation; he absolutely disappears in to the title role of this movie. Sally Fields is wonderful in her portrayal of Molly. This is an adaptation of the Non-fiction book, Team of Rivals (A great read, if you have not already read it), focusing ont he final months of the war and Lincolns life, in the struggle to get the House of Representatives to pass the Thirteenth Amendment. Beautifully filmed, written, and acted; my only draw back from the show was that it should have ended at the end of the war, and not the assassination of the president. If Daniel foes not win an Oscar for this role, than something is wrong with the Academy.
