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

An archaic biopic.

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

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

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