I've seen this movie three times. I have TRIED to like it. But goddammit this is one of the most boring films I've ever seen in my life. Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones are the only things holding this movie together.
James (Schaffrillas)Jan 17, 2018the truth is ive never seen anything with daniel day lewis nor seen him in real life and yall talk about him like hes a 80 year old veterern who somehow keeps coming back from the dead for an oscar and my first thoughts after seeing him at the globes? fit
JayOct 21, 2024Forgot that half the shots in this movie have Jeremy Strong in the background silently staring at Daniel Day Lewis in awe

Off the top of my head this movie has: Michael Stuhlbarg, Lee Pace, Walton Goggins, David Strathairn, Bruce McGill, Adam Driver, Jeremy Strong, David Costabile, James Spader, John Hawkes, Tim Blake Nelson, Jared Harris, Jackie Earle Haley, Peter McRobbie, the evil president…
Will MenakerJan 23, 2013I am a bit of a history freak. I love films that aim to illuminate and portray a period in history as accurately as they can. Lincoln is a prime example of this and while I fully understand that this film can be experienced as an overlong dull affair, to me it is a…
DirkHNov 22, 2020I think Lincoln could have worked better as a TV series so it could be shot in front of a live audience.

apologies to the plot but I was incredibly busy naming every actor I have ever seen in my life
Ella KempNov 21, 2012There’s an easy critique to make of Lincoln. It’s the latest in a long line of popular retellings of the Civil War that puts white men at the center of the narrative, marginalizing the very people who fought and died for the recognition of their own humanity. It’s more…

zxki is "meh" onLincolnIf it wasn't a Spielberg or Daniel Day, I'd have given it more a dislike. I don't know how they do it but it caught the atmosphere of the time to exactly what my imagination thinks it was like. Dull, dark, damp, dusty, cold, and stenchy, especially during a brutal civil war. Unfortunately, the…
Caio is "meh" onLincolnúnico presidente que não era um racista imundo, um facho ou um genocida de toda a história da latrina estadunidense. nao a toa, 50% dos filmes de presidente deles são desse cara. falta de alternativa. história cansada. personagem cansado. uma boa pessoa. a primeira e última.

My dad is a history teacher and took me with him to watch this when it came out. I was a teenager at the time and still to this day it is the only movie I have ever fell asleep watching in a theater. It was way too slow for me.
call me mr V lovedLincolnI actually adored this movie. Yes, you can argue it was a slow burn. That is because it was done right. Well done time piece that portrayed everything to a tee. The environment, characters, events and dialogue is what kept me watching this 2 & 1/2 hour long movie. I would watch again and show…
nevan lovedLincolna great historical biopic held together by the phenomenal performance of daniel day-lewis, one of the greatest living actors. strong cinematography, writing, and music; while i’m not the biggest fan of spielberg, this is one of his finer modern films. a love for daniel
- Austin Kelley lovedLincoln
This is one of, if not, the best biopic ever made. Arguably makes a case for a Top 10 movie ever. The acting was absolutely incredible, you can see the weight of responsibility and duty befall Lincoln throughout, on top of every supporting actor/character. 9.5/10
hailey hall likedLincolni jus love daniel day lewis and anything he does, he played lincoln really well. it’s been awhile since i watched this so i don’t remember that much about the plot, but i remember liking it 7/10 for daniel day lewis but also bc i don’t rlly remember the plot
shadowmist142 is "meh" onLincolnPut it on in the background so didn’t really watch it lol. I thought it was gonna be more of his becoming president (I just read team of rivals) but it was all about the thirteenth amendment. Music and cast was good but that about it. Not my fav

Lincoln is built around a magnetic Day-Lewis turn, and the film is a memorable, sometimes stirring look at how even the most righteous bill must struggle, and even cheat, to become a law. It demands a bigger stage than the one it's given here.

Defiantly intellectual, complex and true to the shifting winds of real-world governance, Lincoln is not the movie that this election season has earned-but one that a more perfect union can aspire to.

Lincoln is too sharply focused to deserve the pejorative biopic label. It's splendid enough to make me wish Spielberg would make a prequel to this instead of another Indiana Jones picture.
