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

An archaic biopic.

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

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

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.

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

Recommended solely for Walter Huston's performance.
