An archaic biopic.

Working with the sort of mythic material later associated with John Ford, Griffith gives us a primordial Lincoln, perfectly incarnated by Walter Huston, and a dreamlike sense of destiny that his camera fully articulates.

Sympathetic, sophisticated and, for those with a keen eye, echoed in the work of Hitchcock and Welles.

Brilliant flashes of direction permeate the entire film, and it remains distinctively a product of the great master.

Abraham Lincoln is a startlingly superlative accomplishment.

It is quite a worthy pictorial offering with a genuinely fine and inspiring performance by Walter Huston in the role of the martyred President.

Recommended solely for Walter Huston's performance.

It feels mostly like an antique, but even antiques have their own particular beauties.

D. W. Griffith's first sound film, from 1930, is as ungainly and majestic as its subject.
