Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The movie is grand and immersive. It plugs us into the final months of Lincoln's presidency with a purity that makes us feel transported as though by time machine.

Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
Defiantly intellectual, complex and true to the shifting winds of real-world governance, Lincoln is not the movie that this election season has earned-but one that a more perfect union can aspire to.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Lincoln is too sharply focused to deserve the pejorative "biopic" label. It's splendid enough to make me wish Spielberg would make a "prequel" to this instead of another Indiana Jones picture.

Village Voice - Unnamed
This Lincoln, stunningly portrayed by Spielberg and Day-Lewis, is real and relatable and so, so cool.

Slant Magazine - R. Kurt Osenlund
Steven Spielberg's film may further the heroism so associated with its subject, and favor a liberal viewpoint that leers down at the Confederates, but it's no bleeding-heart glamorization.
