"Lincoln" today, avoiding it because I thought it might be as slow-moving as
his "War Horse" pic last year. Although "Lincoln" has a few self-consciously
"noble" moments, this is his most cerebral drama since "Schindler's List,"
featuring a (literally) towering performance by Daniel Day Lewis. The guy
disappears in a role that could've turned out ridiculous if it had been spun
like a "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" attraction at Disneyland. Tommy Lee
Jones and Sally Field have scene-stealing moments which made this WAY more
engaging than I expected. To call "Lincoln" educational (even though it is),
under-sells it like a TV documentary by PBS. This is good old fashioned, grand
entertainment - with a fast-moving Kushner screenplay. - d.

LINCOLN: In a word, superb. Daniel Day Lewis is outstanding, with a stellar
supporting cast. Sally Field is riveting. And the great Tony Kushner, the
author of "Angels in America" has delivered a screenplay "for the ages." Not a
boring minute in it. All of this coalesces with Spielberg's great direction.
He is such a great director when he has first class material to work with. One
of the few films I have seen this year that, when I walked out after the
screening, I said "I would see that again." Even John Williams, whose scoring
I am not a huge fan of, was great. K.
