To me, watching LINCOLN was like traveling back in time and experiencing an encounter with a visually authentic Abraham Lincoln.
The persona portrayed couldn't have been more of what I would of expected from the representation of many biographies and studies of his life.
The movie found a way to show every side of his personality in the midst of an important moment in US history.
In addition, the movie dramatizes his relationship with his beloved son, and his outspoken wife, both of whom have dealt with personal tragedies intertwined with the times of the day.
Mr. Lincoln's political skills are often overlooked beneath the headlines of his legacy, but this portrayal leaves no doubt as to his superior ability to achieve what he wanted, even when his chances seemed impossible.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, a travel back in time
Yes, I recommend this movie.

ENDING LEAVES MULTIPLE CONCLUSIONS POSSIBLE

Lots of flashbacks, dreams, etc make this movie confusing at times. You definitely need to pay close attention. The only problem is, even with close attention, the ending leaves you with so many possible scenarios that it really doesn't have an ending. It reminds me of The Shining but isn't as good because there is no real finality to it. The music is a little over the top also; Very Hitchcock like without the Hitchcock suspense.
That being said, it's a must see film..but I'd wait for the less expensive rental version.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
