Ratings and reviews

For an energetic person like me, Abraham Lincoln is a boring man in this movie. But, he created history with his calmness, wisdom and bravery. As the song by the people; "... loyal, true and brave ..."

I can buy this movie in blu-ray format at less than SGD$20. Ha!

Very solemn, well portrayed version of the story of Lincoln. Not over dramatized which is nice to see, particularly when portraying a story such as this.
