RT summary of Lincoln: "Thanks in part to a phenomenal performance from Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln is a witty, dignified portrait of the American icon that immerses the audience in its world and entertains even as it informs." Some reviewers: Day-Lewis doesn't play Abraham Lincoln, he is Abraham Lincoln in a performance that will have you seriously questioning if what you're watching is a documentary shot in the 1860s. A handsomely mounted civics lesson wrapped around a mesmerizing performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. An average movie blessed with an amazing performance. Among the hundreds of characterizations in film, television and books, Day-Lewis' rendition of the 16th President - transmuting the myth into a man -- just may be the definitive portrayal for the ages. It provides Daniel Day-Lewis with an opportunity for his latest extraordinary performance, one filled with kindness and strength in equal measure. Daniel Day-Lewis is extraordinary as the president, capturing his wit and generosity but also the iron will that made him the country's greatest hero. The phenomenal Daniel Day-Lewis plays Lincoln with immersive, indelible power in Spielberg's brilliant, brawling epic. Daniel Day-Lewis gives an amazing performance that's fully-realized, inspirational and powerfully restrained, and the film is all the better for it. |
I'll wait and rent that movie. I like anything about lincoln. I like the movie,the conspiractor,that was directed bye robert redford,a few years back,but that movie had to do with what happened,after he was killed. This one seems to be about his life. I'd watch it in the cinema,but there's to many other movies,I want to see.
