Lincoln
With the nation embroiled in still another year with the high death count of Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) brings the full measure of his passion, humanity and political skill to what would become his defining legacy: to end the war and permanently abolish slavery through the 13th Amendment. Having great courage, acumen and moral fortitude, Lincoln pushes forward to compel the nation, and those in government who oppose him, to aim toward a greater good for all mankind.

.
Despite its limited focus, the movie still runs too long and distracts with stilted performances from much of its all-too-recognizable supporting cast. But just as the nation relied on Lincoln in its time of crisis, Spielberg’s film rests on the shoulders of the inimitable Daniel Day-Lewis, who gives a brilliant, lived-in performance of a leader shepherding his unsteady Union.
