Lincoln-Did not quite do it for me...

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2013)

I found this hard work at first in trying to understand what was going on, apparently this film is a bit like its namesake,"Stalls" a bit here and there - however for any history Buff of American politics it would be of great interest. The use of the language of the time was a pleasure to hear, unfortunately it would be lost on most ears today I fear. Lincoln was a feast of quality acting but was done in a style that many might not enjoy. I expected a different kind movie in terms of the time span of his life and did find a few boring bits here and there having said that Daniel Day Lewis "WAS" Lincoln and all the other supporting actors did a great job.
Gave this a 7/10 because I personally did not overly enjoy the film (too many closed room scenes), but anything less would be an insult to effort involved in making this film.
