If you are a history buff, it is amazing. Very well done. You feel like you are right in the middle of settling one of the most important issues of our countries past. Loved it.

I bought this film expecting much more than it delivered. That's not exactly the movie's fault. This could/should have been part of a series like "The Tudors," "Downton Abbey," "Rome," or "The Borgias." The subject matter is too involved. The film takes an in depth look at a small installment of Lincoln's time as President. As the "extras" explain, a decision was made to do it that way. Once I accepted that fact, the film came through as a superb piece of work by all involved. Great acting, staging, filming, casting, all of it! I learned a great deal about the day to day reality that was life as our long Civil War finally ended. I got a better understanding of Lincoln and the burdens he carried as he worked to end slavery, win the war, and restore The Union. His explanations of why certain things had to be accomplished in certain ways for profound legal reasons left me in awe of his intellect and makes this a truly great movie. But I can't give it that fifth star. If Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. are worthy of multiple, epoch films; so is Lincoln!Read full review
I enjoyed this movie when it played in the theater and knew it was one worth purchasing.
