Review of Lincoln (2012) by Edeltraud — 24 Dec 2012
I fell asleep three times the tone is so monotonous.Old Honest Abe was a wily fellow and in fact Old "technically" Honest Abe. Sally Field is believable and has some life in her performance. Speillie should have developed the Tommy Lee Jones "surprise" story throughout the script.
..this would have added tension and another layer of humanity. Same with the Bobby story...there's no real insight into that relationship. So instead there's just politics is like making sausage, only more boring.
There was no point in ending with the "Titanic sinking" - that was pandering to our scant knowlege and added nothing to the film.
