Review of Good Friday, 1865: LINCOLN'S LAST DAY

A great portrait of a much mythologized President, with wonderful historical tidbits without being proselytizing or overtly educational -- just masterfully done drama. As with all Quicksilver works, it features stellar acting, astonishing production values and a tight script. Highly recommended.
