Worthy of your time

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2013)

No car chases, no sexual trysts, just entertaining and masterful acting. I wish today's congress would be as forthcoming in their views with the same intelligence as depicted in Lincoln. Spielberg delivered an entertaining film fairly true to history.
Daniel Day-Lewis is great, as usual with good material to work from. Could have seen less of son Tad and more of wife's insanity...she was a real piece of work. Do not understand complaints of Lincoln's high pitch voice. I've never read anything of him speaking in deep, resonant tones. DD-L captivated me. He certainly will be nominated for an Oscar...probably losing to Hugh Jackman's Les Mis Jean Valjean.
Perhaps I'm too much of a history buff and was over enamored by the period brought to life better than in the past. I am forgiving several flaws and plan to see it again at an early show with few in the audience. Nothing like a near private viewing.
