Spielberg makes good movies. Day-Lewis knows how to act. You put those together... It'd be hard for this to be a bad movie. Seriously, not sure what else there is to say. It's a Spielberg movie starring DDL. It's really good. Oddly reminds me of Amsterdam, in so much as Amsterdam is an example of a movie driven by this huge ensemble cast and being pretty disappointing as a byproduct. Then you look at Lincoln, which has a sneakily large cast and is full of all sorts of people that had me going "Oh wow, they're in this too?" But it all coalesces into something cohesive.
Only real issue I have in this is the sense of time. It can be hard to tell at points how much time has passed between different scenes. It's a minor complaint but it did pull me out of the experience a couple of times. Also, I like Goggins and shall forever hold fond remembrance for his sperm-laden line readings on Community, but he felt out of place here. He has a certain manic energy that didn't seem to mesh properly with the rest of the film. Those two points are pretty nitpick-y, admittedly, but still they exist.
Really solid movie though and would recommend it to most.
