Review from the comment
Lincoln has all the elements of being a great film. A list actor and director? Check. Accomplished supporting cast (I mean everyone is in this)? Check. Interesting historical figure? Check. A film I'll be talking about in twenty years? Not so much. While Lincoln is superbly acted, I didn't feel that the basic story captured my attention. Make no mistake, the signing of the 13th Amendment and subsequent surrender of the South in the Civil War was a momentous occasion. I felt that Spielberg could have made it clear by shaving off a good portion of the running time.
