Critics: Its title notwithstanding, Lincoln is an absorbing, intellectual look at the political machinations involved in abolishing slavery, not an exhaustive biopic about Honest Abe. - USA Today
- There is nothing bravura or overly emotional about Spielberg's direction here, but the impeccable filmmaking is no less impressive for being quiet and to the point. - Lost Angeles Times
- Never before in American cinema have politics and poetry combined to make such spellbinding bedfellows. - Film Threat
