Really good movie. The slow pacing was needed to show the full picture of Lincoln: 1) his relationship with his two sons, 2) the agony that he went through with the death of his son and the difference between how he and his wife handled it, 3) how he vacillated on the decision about whether to sacrifice the easy end of the war to gain passage of the 13th amendment, 4) to show the political intrigue and bargaining., 5) the flavor of the house floor debates in those days. There is a lot going on in the movie. Very well told important story.
