YES!! I just watched this a couple nights ago and it was FANTASTIC. I couldn't take my eyes off Shannon, or Susan Ziegler as adult Sue. The sheer joy and energy and in-on-the-joke-togetherness of their chemistry ... ah!
I have to say I *mostly* liked it when they put in renditions of her poems, but the black northern soldier in the tomb with her for "I died for Beauty" just did not work for me. It seemed awfully heavy-handed, especially since they didn't take up an argument about the extent of her abolitionist sensibilities anywhere else.
