With the American civil war looking like it might finally be drawing to a close, President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) is increasingly turning his attention to the passing of the 13th amendment to the constitution.

It lacked a big deal of rhythm but the revision of the history and, specially, the great performance by Day-Lewis makes it a movie worth watching.
Very powerful journey back into history!
