Review: Lincoln

Lincoln
Cert: 12A / 150 mins / Dir. Steven Spielberg



That's the second film this year with an engaging start, a spectacular end, and a dialogue-heavy mid-section that had me thinking 'Okay, you know where this is going, I certainly do, so how about you stop fucking talking about it and show me?'

Don't get me wrong, all of the performances are outstanding, but the film loses much-needed power in dawdling.

'Be excellent to each other. And… party on dudes.'

Yes.



Mostly.
