Paul Giamatti as John Adams?  First, I was skeptical since I had seen Paul Giamatti in lots of other movies not based on history but I was pleasantly surprised at how much of an accomplished actor he is.  His protrayal of John Adams as one of the USA's Founding Fathers, its second President, and his role in the nation's first 50 years was dead on. And Laura Linney's as Abigail Adams was just as great as Paul's role.  And then, to see David Morse as George Washington?  Wow!  The makeup, etc was amazing!  Overall, it is a good series of movies to watch to fully understand what transpired with a significant part of our history.

This film is both historical and well acted. I enjoyed seeing how the judicial system has evolved and it is a great story of courage and conviction both pubilc and private.

If a clean family movie with historical meaning is what you are after then you will not be disappointed with this flick. The acting , for the most part is good, the history is well documented and visually it is indeed striking.

Enjoy!

Great historical story about a female scholar of an ancient Era of learning and discovery.  This movie also brings to light the conflicts that existed between Christians, Jews, and pagan religions.

Very good movie! Looking for more like it about historical figures. I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective of a man, an ordinary man, with a extraordinary ability to see events for what they are and do something about it.

Great movie, based on a true story, with no need to make up controversy to make it entertaining. History has enough drama on its own so I appreciate their telling it like it happened.

This movie is filmed very well telling a powerful story. It portrays a powerful message of history thats seldom talked about. I really enjoyed it and in my opinion its one of best films produce in 2016.

I have heard that this movie has some historical discrepancies, but it was an incredible story. I truly loved the story and the acting was incredible. It was exceptionally well done.

Overall, a great movie. Acting is outstanding and the story is very important historical  (and emotionally for many people). The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is that it can be hard to follow at times, especially the details which don't always feel as if they are exposed in dialogue but are more implied. I know the story fairly well, but there are a few things that still are lost on me after a few views.

Excellent movie for the history buff. Robert Redford does an excellent job at producing and directing. Kevin Kline and Robin Wright will blow you away with their portrayals. If you liked Lincoln, this is a must see.

This movie is awesome!  The historically accurate setting makes it all the better.  The casting was great.  I have watched it twice already and I am so thankful for them making this movie so my family could have an entertaining movie to watch together without all the ungodly filth of Hollywood.
