This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Brilliant. Also look for Colm Wilkinson in it! And bring lots of tissues, aha.

i love this film aND UPON REWATCHING OMG STEPHEN FRY<3

A+ casting, nice soundtrack and wonderful costumes (some, like Mrs. Lincoln's dresses and necklace in one scene were dead-on for pieces the people wore at the time). Whenever one would say a movie simply about the ratification of one amendment is coming out, some might immediately classify it as boring and never think of it again. I wouldn't as I adore history, and you shouldn't either! It was incredibly good and I recommend everyone go out and see it! Perfection!
