I saw it recently and enjoyed it greatly.
Lincoln, and many in the pantheon of American heroes, are often deified and made to look lke 'plaster saints' when they were, in reality, political animals!
The only thing I dislike about the movie - and it is NO fault of the movie, or Doris Kearn Goodwin's book - is that our current POTUS is glomming <sp> on to it, as if he personified the 'team of rivals' ideal. BS
