He always thinks about how each shot and cut will affect the whole of the work. There's one beautiful one near the beginning where the camera tracks characters while being separated by a row of desks before cutting through an aisle to get closer and then following them into an office and gracefully moving around them to the other side of the room. Just effortless, fluid, magnificent. Never calls attention to itself - it simply breathes naturally. The film is buoyed by constant, subtle visual vitality.
On top of that, Spielberg's love of character idiosyncrasies is in full effect; again, I keep noticing things I didn't catch the first time around, especially with Streep's character. Taking off her large earring to answer a phone call, for example. Just an consistent stream of tiny details to give the characters (and the movie) a sense of life and personality. My god, what a talent he is.

How many times did he go: "Oh...oh..." while trying to process the implications of whether or not she would let them run the story? Is hand-wringing-via-face what qualifies for top-shelf acting now?
But honestly, I don't blame either of them, I think the script was probably quite anemic. All of Spielberg's master craftsmanship holds up in spite of the thin material.
