Review For Saving Lincoln |
The film feels like an animated Wikipedia page, just sort of running through the greatest hits of Lincoln's life in office - the Emancipation Proclamation! Gettysburg! The Theater! - without any real insight. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
Note to filmmakers: Just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should do it. Neil Genzlinger-New York Times
Comes off like a View-Master version of a tale already told. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
Litvak's shoestring production sketches in episodes from Lincoln's entire administration, including a strange "Dixie'' singalong on the White House steps to mark the end of the war. Lou Lumenick-New York Post
The script, while largely historically accurate, is undermined by stilted dialogue, and the pic is laced with ill-fitting parts that wind up literally all over the matte. Bill Edelstein-Variety
Imagine the stiffness of a Star Wars prequel but without the bravura technique. Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice
The innovative look. . .of thrusting actors directly into archival photographs, . .the primary reason to see the film, is particularly striking. . .as visual authenticity. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
A bold visual feat undermined by an overstuffed, cold and shallow screenplay and awkward theatrical performances. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
The film suggests a way modestly budgeted movies can approach historical epochs and figures in a provocative and arresting manner. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
Under even the best of circumstances, Saving Lincoln would have to inevitably face the scrutiny of potential redundancy. Ed Gonzalez-Slant Magazine
This simulated, caricatured curiosity is another Lincoln log that's recommended primarily for history-buffs. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
Film about Abraham Lincoln and his "best friend" and bodyguard is weakened by a bare-bones script, but greatly strengthened by the director's invention of a visual technique that even Steven Spielberg might envy. Shirley Sealy-Film Journal International
Like a movie-watching day in class that makes you miss the thrilling rhetoric of a lecture. Matt Pais-RedEye
A fresh take on The Great Emancipator from the point-of-view of a trusted companion who had been at the President's side at Gettysburg and for many historical moments but not on the day he died. Kam Williams-AALBC.com
