Lincoln is an enjoyable look into the ends justifying the means when it comes to one man’s ethic versus an agreed upon structure of order.

An outstanding movie, untypical for its time but especially therefore an important movie about the civil war!

Historically, Not entirely accurate. But it was still an enjoyable film and the acting was phenomenal.

This movie shows how great a leader Abraham Lincoln was. Daniel Day - Lewis transforms himself seamlessly into the man who saved the union.

De-idealizes Lincoln while still giving him credit for his historic accomplishment. DDL is powerful & enthralling even if his dialogue isn’t

Other than a few heavy handed moments, it is a serious reflection on pragmatism and morality. Really well acted and mostly good direction.
