LINCOLN - a capsule review by Camilo Arenivar

This is a dialogue heavy film that covers the period of time immediately following President Abraham Lincoln's re-election and his push to seek the passage of 13th amendment that banned slavery. If Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, and Tommy Lee Jones do not get Oscar nominations, I will be shocked. They deliver amazing performances and I think that Tommy Lee Jones may very well win the Best Supporting Oscar for his performance as Thaddeus Stevens. I thought the movie was very well done and made the politics of the time come to life in a way only Spielberg could. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but given my enjoyment of politics, I liked it a lot!
