No relief

Rating: 2/10 (8 February 2017)

Well, I was expecting a good moment that could distract me from the ugly face of US politics in 2017. Alas nothing in this movie to make my day. Flat movie, full of stereotypes, all the common worn out pathos tricks, even DD Lewis which I adored in other movies disappointed me as a tired uninspired Lincoln. Strange scenario that puts so much emphasis on the vote of the 13th amendment, some poor attempts to depicts aspects of his private life, nothing about his life prior to his election, the most awkward being the last scenes - his assassination - being rushed in 2 minutes. So sadly, absolutely no relief coming from this movie. May be Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter would have done a better job!
