Saw the film this afternoon and although not a great enough film to win Best Film, one can certainly make a point for Daniel Day Lewis for Best Actor and I can even see a nomination for Sally Fields as Best Actress. Both of them were practically indistinguishable from their real life counter parts
The story is historic (duh) in nature but unbeknownst to me was the 2 weeks leading up to the vote in Congress for ratification of the 13TH Amendment to the US Constitution and how Lincoln was able to sway Democrats and Republicans to vote for the Amendment.
Very good cast of characters including Tommie Lee Jones who even in a wig is one ugly dude.
The story is told over almost 2 1/2 hours and time goes by quickly as the story is just that good and Daniel Day Lewis is so convincing
It won't disappoint and definitely a Thumb's Up
