Lincoln paints a powerful and compelling portrait of the man who has become an icon. We don't need to see more of his life to understand how rare a figure he was - this window is more than sufficient.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews, 11.18.2012 -
It's very good, but that's not the point. It's necessary.
David Thomson, The New Republic, 06.14.2013 -
Lincoln offers proof of what magic can happen when an actor falls in love with his character. Because as great as Day-Lewis has been in his many parts, he has never seemed quite so smitten.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post, 11.16.2012 -
As unexpected as it is intelligent, thanks to virtuoso work from Spielberg and Kushner, Lincoln is landmark filmmaking, while Day-Lewis is so authentic he pulls off that stovepipe.
