1. I did!
Moving, powerful, beautifully acted-- quite incredible!

I missed portions of it due to having to put my kids to bed-- hope I can catch up this week as Part 1 is being re-run.

2. It was moving due to the subject matter......
..and the whole self-loathing Roy Cohn thing is fascinating as it relates to recent US history, but as a whole I'm not sure that anything 'new' was brought to the table....

I'n not sure what I was expecting to see, but I felt a little disappointed when all was said and done...

4. I did - Compelling
Unbelievable acting, also a ripping indictment of the right wing, at times bizarre, at times funny, at times deeply moving - altogether profound. Still reeling from it.

5. Very powerful
Critics have said if it were released as a movie it would sweep the Oscars and I have to agree. A very important story with major acting performances from Merle Streep and Al Pacino.
With all the discussion around the CBS Reagan thing, I am surprised this flew in under the radar.

Poetry
It is unlike so many movies nowdays.

Off to read the other thread.
