Steven Spielberg helms his long-in-the-making biopic of Abraham Lincoln for DreamWorks and Touchstone Pictures. Daniel Day-Lewis portrays the former head of state in the Tony Kushner-penned adaptation of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals, which chronicles the President's time in office between 1861 and 1865 as he dealt with personal demons and politics during the Civil War. Sally Field leads a co-starring cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Academy Award nominee John Hawkes. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

This is one giant of a film that I plan to see again. So much richness and depth to it, not to mention superb acting. I came rather late to the Civil War in terms of reading its history, having discovered several ancestors who fought in it, including one from England. Now I would love to see a film about Ulysses S. Grant--with Jared Harris continuing in that role!

Another Spielberg great. Daniel Day Lewis delivered well as Abe, and this was one of the best movies of the 21st century. If you want a great movie to watch with lots of history, this is the one. I can't think of another bad to say about this movie at all.

Fabulous film! History was spot on (of course, with Doris Kearns-Goodwin to work with, how could it be off historically?), performances were amazing, everything was great! Oscar-worthy and definitely worth watching!

Good Movie.....However, Politics have never changed and according to this movie the great Lincoln was no different......push push push until you get what you want. The 13th amendment was a great and needed thing but at the cost of three to six more months of the civil war and lies to the American people?

Pretty long movie with a lot of monologues from Lincoln. I know he was a story teller in real life but it made the movie drag on when conversations were just a one-way street. They could have added battle scenes to make things a bit more interesting, but the movie mostly focused on his internal turmoils and securing political support. Nice movie but not worth all the hype it was given.
