Lincoln Movie Review: | |
| 'Lincoln' works as a snapshot of a great man without ever slipping into a portrait of sainthood. Dave Calhoun-Time Out This is movie magic -- history coming to life, before our eyes. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times It's the most remarkable movie Steven Spielberg has made in quite a spell, and one of the things that makes it remarkable is how it fulfills those expectations by simultaneously ignoring and transcending them. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Lincoln paints a powerful and compelling portrait of the man who has become an icon. We don't need to see more of his life to understand how rare a figure he was - this window is more than sufficient. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Lincoln offers proof of what magic can happen when an actor falls in love with his character. Because as great as Day-Lewis has been in his many parts, he has never seemed quite so smitten. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film masterfully captures the dual dilemmas facing the president in the final months of his life: how to bring the war between the states to an end, and how to eradicate slavery, once and for all. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer A bit like watching the West Wing played by Amish People. Desperately needed 40 minutes cut out of what is essentially quite a beautifully made movie. Marc Fennell-Triple J Day-Lewis...wears well the weariness of the office and Lincoln's puckish yet subdued sense of humor, scaling the man closer to life-size than Mount Rushmore monumental. [Blu-ray] Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews The lame extras are disappointing, but Steven Spielberg's quietly subversive political comedy receives an otherwise superlative transfer. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Whenever other actors hear Daniel Day-Lewis is making a movie, they can pretty much give up any hopes that they'll win an Oscar that year. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A poignant portrait of Lincoln's last days, time spent as a marked man making his appointed rounds en route to his rendezvous with destiny. Kam Williams-Sly Fox Spielberg's 'Lincoln' gives us the fullest portrait of the man on the five dollar bill that Hollywood has produced. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Pushing this film as merely 'Lincoln' is something of an injustice to the man himself, as if audiences wouldn't have any interest in the actual story of the film. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com Somewhere in there, Lincoln will call upon [his administration's] faculties and better sense, and the film about him will ask something similar of us. Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Movies With Butter A spellbinding performance and a beautifully nuanced film about statesmanship, quiet contemplation and - above all else - principle. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground Once you settle in, this is an educational and enlightening epic. Yes, it can be ponderous, but for the most part, Lincoln is entertaining. Matt Neal-The Standard A powerful and brilliant look at the most important moment in US history... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Oddly, Spielberg chooses to set his gabby epic largely indoors...This gives Lincoln a rather inert feel...It's infuriating that spectacular battle scenes are described in the film, but not shown. Jim Schembri-3AW A remarkable performance by Daniel Day-Lewis is the glue that holds Lincoln together. Without him, this would be a very unremarkable film. Tim Martain-The Mercury Spielberg's guarded representation of Honest Abe highlights some problems with the biopic format, especially in terms of veracity, and especially in terms of how we can (or can't) measure accuracy as the years roll by. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey Every ounce of time-honoured respect a nation has seen fit to bestow upon The Great Emancipator is addressed frame by frame in Steven Spielberg's stately masterwork, Lincoln. Simon Foster-Screen-Space For the most part Lincoln is not a significant inclusion into Spielberg's filmography despite the noblest of intentions and undeniable cinematic craftsmanship. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy A focused, remarkably human production, anchored by Day-Lewis' understated performance as the softly spoken, long winded, devilishly funny Abraham Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Those interested in the subject matter should find it informative, eye-opening and rewarding. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Lincoln is a far more reckless, entertaining, unusual, but ultimately horribly uneven film than its pedigree may suggest. Erin Free-FILMINK (Australia) This is easily Spielberg's best picture since Schindler's List. Having a two-term black president now in the White House can't hurt its chances, either.
