Great story and brilliant acting. Daniel Day Lewis wasn't acting -- he actually was Lincoln. He embodied Lincoln physically and illuminated his kind spirit and incredible intelligence. This portrait of Abraham Lincoln was so moving it brought tears to my eyes. All the other acting was great, too, especially Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens. The politics behind passing the 13th amendment is also relevant to what is going on in our politics today. The personal glimpses into the life of Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, were very interesting. I would definitely recommend this movie. I am going to see it again. It makes you realize how lucky we were to have such a man as our President during such a time.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, very moving
