Daniel Day-Lewis portrayed Lincoln so well you could almost feel you had met the man. Movie was a little long and slow in a few spots. Really good character development showed the man Lincoln was, both politically and personally.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's slightly long, but I realize it had to be given the length of the book. It was very dark and foreboding, with flashes of brilliant humor, both in the dialogue and the actors' facial expressions. Can't wait for the final movie next summer!
