Saving Lincoln (2013)
Really boring and Mary miscast

I get so disgusted when filmmakers go for a big name actress who is physically the opposite of Mary Lincoln. Cast someone who really resembles her, then give her a copy of Ruth Painter Randall's biography of Mary. She will have little trouble rising to the challenge. The credits should refer to her as Mary Lincoln, as she thought of herself. "Todd" was used by historians, not her.
The movie as a whole mostly consisted of well-known historical tidbits. Many scenes were too dark to make out what was happening. It seemed disjointed and production appeared low budget. I can't recommend this to anyone.
