Great Historical Fiction Film!

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2017)

As a history fan, I found this film to be very enjoyable. A lot of attention to detail was put into imparting the feel of the Civil War to this film and it really shows in terms of quality. I also greatly enjoyed the political debates and arguments, which were brought to life by the excellent performances of the actors and actresses. Not only are these events and arguments an integral part of American history, but they resonate today and still have great impact. The main characters are very enjoyable to watch, having great emotion and vibrancy to their portrayals of historical people. Lincoln alone is a perfect portrayal and has many amazing scenes and speeches. I also found the locations to be excellently created and the cinematography to be perfect. While it might be low on the action side of things for action fans, it still is a very powerful film.
