Matt was wrong. It is the best Spielberg film I've seen. It did an amazing job of capturing the time, the events, what was at stake and the emotion of it all. Daniel Day phenomenal as usual. What a humble, intellectual giant Lincoln was facilitating the best possible outcome. The only thing I'm sensing from the negative reviews is an inability to get out of the 2012 comfort zone for a couple of hours. I'd love to see what movies the naysayers like. On second thought spare me.
