This film is completely absorbing. It transports you to a time that is both very different from ours but also has many similarities. Every American should see it because it tells the story of the test our democracy underwent during the Civil War and how we survived it in spite of almost unbearable hardship and sacrifice. It also shows us that the legislative process has never been pretty even when Congress was dealing with monumental issues like slavery. We get a glimpse of what a great leader LIncoln was--how he used his homespun and modest bearing, his great intellect and learning, and his soaring oratory, to set a course and get others to follow it. He pursued what was right in spite of immense difficulties.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
