This was thoroughly enjoyable film. From what I have studied about the last days of the Civil War and Lincoln's administration it was pretty accurate where the overall sense of what was going on is concerned. Hollywood seems to think it can make history more interesting by adding or subtracting what it deems necessary. We can never know the exact conversations and the type of language used, but can get a pretty good idea from letters, diaries, etc. The subject (13th Amendment) was very controverial in that time. Just as things in our era, the people involved had no way of predicting all the ramifications of the amendment, but it was something that needed done. Lincoln is properly protrayed as a man who knew what he wanted and that it was the right thing to do. I don't think the crude language was necessary, but the film, overall was very good .
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, reasonably accurate
Cons unnecesarry swearing
Yes, I recommend this movie.
