Riveting

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2012)

In addition to being authentic and true to history, the movie is riveting. The casting is incredibly spot on. You never see the actor - only the role. Daniel is Lincoln is Daniel. Sally Field is beyond perfect. Ulysses played by Jared Harris exudes the essence of the General demonstrating his loyalty to his office and yet showing the struggles of the burden of leadership. Daniel does the same with his portrayal of Lincoln bringing his loving nature to the forefront along with his humility and tenderness. Daniel incredibly demonstrates the difficulty of knowing what the right thing to do is and then doing it. Historically symbolic. Well worth the time and I will most certainly see this again.
