An archaic biopic.

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

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

Recommended solely for Walter Huston's performance.

It feels mostly like an antique, but even antiques have their own particular beauties.
August 19, 2013
Sympathetic, sophisticated and, for those with a keen eye, echoed in the work of Hitchcock and Welles.
August 19, 2013
It is quite a worthy pictorial offering with a genuinely fine and inspiring performance by Walter Huston in the role of the martyred President.
August 19, 2013
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.
