Story Line For Lincoln | |
| In 1865, as the American Civil War winds inexorably toward conclusion, U.S. president Abraham Lincoln endeavors to achieve passage of the landmark constitutional amendment which will forever ban slavery from the United States. However, his task is a race against time, for peace may come at any time, and if it comes before the amendment is passed, the returning southern states will stop it before it can become law. Lincoln must, by almost any means possible, obtain enough votes from a recalcitrant Congress before peace arrives and it is too late. Yet the president is torn, as an early peace would save thousands of lives. As the nation confronts its conscience over the freedom of its entire population, Lincoln faces his own crisis of conscience -- end slavery or end the war. | |

Review For Lincoln | |
| It's the most remarkable movie Steven Spielberg has made in quite a spell, and one of the things that makes it remarkable is how it fulfills those expectations by simultaneously ignoring and transcending them. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Lincoln paints a powerful and compelling portrait of the man who has become an icon. We don't need to see more of his life to understand how rare a figure he was - this window is more than sufficient. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Lincoln offers proof of what magic can happen when an actor falls in love with his character. Because as great as Day-Lewis has been in his many parts, he has never seemed quite so smitten. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film masterfully captures the dual dilemmas facing the president in the final months of his life: how to bring the war between the states to an end, and how to eradicate slavery, once and for all. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Lincoln is a stirring reminder that politics can be noble. Might there be a lesson here for today's shrill D.C. discourse? 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News Day-Lewis' voice is thin and reedy, which jibes with historical accounts but subverts our expectations. His attitude makes listeners lean in, and so do we, magnetized by his kindly reserve. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Lincoln has been dismissed by some as merely 'people in rooms talking'. That may be true, but what people. And what talking. Michael Papadopoulos-Sky Movies Fans of great writing, superb acting, beautiful photography and the rousing scores of John Williams are going to lap this one up. Andy Lea-Daily Star While Lincoln is high-minded and classy, it plays like a dry history lesson, despite a typically immaculate turn from Daniel Day-Lewis. In short, we have the definitive performance of Abraham Lincoln, but not the definitive movie. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor 'Lincoln' works as a snapshot of a great man without ever slipping into a portrait of sainthood. Dave Calhoun-Time Out This is the quietest of [Spielberg's] recent films, with an equally unobtrusive, delicately-crafted, totally absorbing performance from Daniel Day-Lewis. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy This is handsome-looking history, but Spielberg's worshipful treatment slows down its pulse. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman As unexpected as it is intelligent, thanks to virtuoso work from Spielberg and Kushner, Lincoln is landmark filmmaking, while Day-Lewis is so authentic he pulls off that stovepipe. Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine Lincoln is okay: a well-acted, nicely shot, perfectly watchable biopic that I assume has one hundred times more resonance when viewed from the opposite of the Atlantic. Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk A film as absorbing and unassuming as the central character. Allan Hunter-The List Steven Spielberg's masterly, high-minded recreation of Abraham Lincoln's long-shot battle to get the 13th amendment outlawing slavery through a hostile Congress. Kate Stables-Total Film The filmmakers write history with lightning, and their instrument is Daniel Day-Lewis as the graying, hunched and shuffling Lincoln, bent but not broken and as tall and thin as a stick figure in a Tim Burton cartoon. Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Lewis keeps his fire on a low flame, quietly navigating the underlying tone of hagiography and emerging as a believable man, and exactly the kind of pragmatic idealist America could use today. Jay Stone-Canada.com This is movie magic -- history coming to life, before our eyes. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times Even as a historical figure considerably better known than any he's played before, there's no trace of impersonation in Lewis's performance. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture As one of this generations greatest actors, two time Oscar winner Day-Lewis is a shoo-in for a chance at a third trophy. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes As essential an entry in Spielberg's catalog as his most popular blockbusters and heralded epics. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Spielberg undoubtedly is asking us to pay attention and learn something - there is no nodding off in this class - but even with all the talk of ratification, and envoys, and securing votes, Lincoln is an engaging, if not rousing film-going experience. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com Lincoln is a performance masterclass. Spielberg humanises the icon and admires Lincoln the man - in the face of the challenges that defined him. It's a special effort in the capable hands of a legend. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Lincoln is Spielberg's best film since 2005's Munich, and one of 2012's finest. Bill Clark-FromTheBalcony This is an almost religiously revered president portrayed as he's never been portrayed on screen before, a tale told with grace and sophistication. If only for this fact alone, Lincoln is a work deserving of praise. Jason Gorber-Twitch | |
