Obviously, Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln is something else, but I’m otherwise mystified by the near universal acclaim for this astonishingly clunky film that opens with young soldiers in the field competing in a Gettysburg Address quote-off to impress the president and heaves its way along until there’s no scenery left to be chewed by the parade of A-list historical re-enactors.
I’ll also confess that I was very confused by the timeline of major plot point — passing the Thirteenth Amendment during a lame-duck Congress — because I’d forgotten that the action was taking place before the Twentieth Amendment changed the dates for the beginning of Congressional terms.
