Review of Saving Lincoln (2013) by Sean P — 19 Mar 2013
I felt moments of sheer brilliance and laughter juxtaposed with sharing Abe, Mary, and Hill's emotions as if they were my own. Your endeavors are acts of sheer genius as all of the great discoveries the historical world!!!
Your story has rekindled the notion that mature men and women can befriend each other without stooping to the low levels as to employ sexual tension to lure the audience into believing the story. You have performed countless tasks seemingly impossible in this modern age of film production and have advanced the notion of moral priority in a film portraying the lives of historical figures of premiere importance and the inter-relationships that they shared.
Mr. Litvak, you are the Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, of theatre and film. Weaving historical images, stories, feelings, and emotions of bygone eras and then reincarnating them so that our society will see what history would have long forgotten if not resurrected by you and your surrounding cadre' of collective genius.
The casting and their performance could not have been better...at times, the film absorbed one into the seen as if you were truly listening and watching the true historical figures.
Congratulations on a refreshing theatrical endeavor and not succumbing to the accepted morays of the film industry.
