Synopsis:

From IMDb: “The story of Abraham Lincoln’s childhood in the harsh wilderness of Indiana and the hardships that shaped him, the tragedy that marked him for ever and the two women who guided him to immortality.”

Poster: C+ / C-

Review: (#1 & #2) Dark and plain, that might fit a film about Abraham Lincoln in his childhood, but it’s not very appealing to a general audience who won’t be able to tell by the designs what the film is about and thereby won’t care. While the first is a bit more original, neither is a particularly effective sales tool.

Trailer: C

Review: Why you would evoke the name of Terrence Malick, especially when he isn’t the director, is unknown. He’s not a figure that any outside of the cineaste community is particularly familiar with. Even so, those who are familiar aren’t necessarily going to use that name association as a pertinent recommendation.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
