  1. Film review: This Abe is hard to top

    The trailers and TV ads for "Lincoln" — with their wall-to-wall music, stately proclamations and reverent tone — suggest an unrestrained Steven Spielberg, fully indulging his worst tendencies. They won't win any truth-in-advertising awards either — a good thing, since what we get is far better than they lead you to expect.

  2. 'Lincoln': A political animal of a different kind ★★★★

    "Lincoln" is a grave and surprisingly subtle magic trick, conjuring the past and an almost ridiculously impressive figure in ways that transcend art direction and the right stovepipe hat. Director Steven Spielberg's latest combines the most commonly shared notions we have of our 16th U.S. president — the folksy deliberation, the spindly gait, the all-seeing eye on the prize of history remade — with the behavior, idiosyncrasies and contradictions of an actual human being. It blends cinematic Americana with something grubbier and more interesting than Americana, and it does not look, act or behave like the usual perception of a Spielberg epic. It is smaller and quieter than that.

  4. Logging Lincoln

    Writing a presidential biography is a work of selection. When the president in question is as iconic as Abraham Lincoln, the task is arduous. Consider that the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield alone houses 1,600 original works penned by the man himself as well as 13,000 books and pamphlets written about him. It was a fair question when The New York Times asked in its 2005 review of Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" whether there was anything new to say about the 16th president. Goodwin proved that there was. She focused her book narrowly, spanning only from the Republican convention in 1860 to Lincoln's death in 1865, concentrating on the relationships Lincoln forged with the men who helped to govern the nation during some of its most tumultuous years.

  6. 'Lincoln' review: Great performance, OK movie

    <strong>**1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    **1/2 (out of four) It's pretty incredible that Steven Spielberg got the real Abraham Lincoln to play himself in “Lincoln,” a recounting of the first few months of 1865 as the president worked to pass the 13th Amendment and end the Civil War....
