Perfect Movie - will win everything

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2012)

I saw Lincoln last weekend with my husband and some friends and thought it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I watched it again last night with our son and enjoyed it even more. I cannot think of a flaw to report with this film. The accolades that have been heaped upon Daniel Day-Lewis are 100% deserved. Tommy Lee Jones is superb, as well. They will win Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. Sally Fields delivers an outstanding performance as the emotionally fragile Mary Lincoln. The remainder of the cast is equally amazing. Whoever did the casting was spot on with every character. The story itself, the passing of the 13th Amendment, is one few people have heard, that is the actual details of the process. My husband has read 1000's of pages about Abraham Lincoln and had never heard these specific details. I could go on raving about this film, but better for you to see it. It is extraordinary.
