The only thing I can say negative about this movie is that it is not a movie for the average movie audience. It is highly intellectual and appeals to and is appreciated by educated and older audiences. Sally Fields deserves to be nominated for best supporting actress for her superb performance! Without her I feel the movie would have lacked a real human connection.
Abraham Lincoln, I believe, was played as I assume he must have been in life. Daniel Day Lewis took the character and dared not imbellish in any way. He was right on and indeared Lincoln to those not familiar with his astounding prescence of character, his honesty, his humility, and his lofty intellect.
The movie follows the chronology of events of an important and historic piece of legislation to its conclusion that is sometimes slow and a bit boring for the average viewer, not enough action and not enough of a real human story to capture the imagination.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons too complex, slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.
