Lincoln is, quite simply, one of the best
movies I have seen in a long time. In Lincoln, Daniel Day Lewis does not play Abraham Lincoln, he is Abraham Lincoln, living, breathing, taking decisions, running a family.
The leadership qualities of Lincoln come to the fore as he balances ending a
war and abolishing slavery, with a few decisions that err towards choosing the
greater good and associated realpolitik. This is a movie for posterity, and one
for your collection. Suffice to say that I cannot remember a movie in memory
that moved me quite as much, Steven Spielberg dramatic effect notwithstanding
17.5/20
