Best Movie of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2012)

"Lincoln" shows just how much people can enjoy a historical movie if it's well done and the acting is superb. We intend to see this one again! Daniel-Day Lewis will win all the awards for this one, as well as Tommy Lee Jones.
The movie did an excellent job capturing Lincoln's wit and wisdom and his ability to persuade men to his point of view.
In addition, the picture shows partisan politics is not just a recent affliction in the U.S. Congress.
It was a tad myopic in that it only dealt with the machinations during Congress' consideration of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but it was good nonetheless.
