#88 - Lincoln (2012)
Lincoln (2012), Steven Spielberg
3.5/5
This is an interesting film that strikes a great balance between a biopic and a historical drama. Daniel Day-Lewis is superb in his portrayal of Lincoln and the surrounding cast are also excellent. The politics can be confusing at times, but the film works well at complimenting the emotional and personal elements of Lincoln and his family's life with the wider political agenda of the abolition of slavery and the end of the civil war. Overall a good film on an interesting time in history, if at times somewhat idealistic, the performances are the stand out feature of the film.
