Not sure why the makeup for young Abraham?
Jim Watson who plays him does a fine job and his look could work without all the makeup. Not every person who is as old as Abraham is now looked the same,30,40,years before.
He looks like he is in makeup and I don't see the need.
When you look at young pics of family 30-50 years before that don't look the same, sometimes it is hard to even see resemblance without close inspection....so,just saying,,..
