We got back on track with good Netflix selections with Lincoln. I liked the political maneuvering, and was interested in Lincoln's legal reasoning that drove the political maneuvering. The acting was top-notch.
My quibbles: the opening scenes. The brutality of battle scene was unnecessary--just a variation on the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. I thought the scene of soldiers reciting the Gettysburg address didn't seem realistic. There were so many characters--it was hard to keep them all straight.
I definitely want to see it again.
Saw some comments on IMDB criticizing everything from the name of the film to its scope. Many found it boring--I guess they needed a chase scene.
