We want to see it too. We happened to be visiting Richmond VA in november 2011 and we wanted to see the state capitol but we found out that Spielberg and his "crew" were in town with their huge equipment and trailors etc.... ever since, we decided we HAD to see it... Glad to read your positive comments. with each trip to USA and being canadian, we are learning more and more about the US fascinating history.

I have been wanting to see it, but it is not showing locally. The local theater said they could have gotten it if they had 16 screens, I think they have 12. I didn't want to travel 35 miles to get where it is.
I hope it is still playing at the theater near us in FL when we get there.

It was a great movie and I was glad to see that it had shots showing lots of tapestries and fabrics. Mary Todd Lincoln was obsessive about buying fabrics, lace, etc and ended up in serious debt with her overspending. I had recently learned of a great scandal involving Lincoln and the Union Pacific transcontinental railroad. Google Crédit Mobilier scandal. I was glad that they didn't bring any of those up and also that they didn't do a gruesome death scene like so many productions tend to like. I mean, if you can't trust Honest Abe, who can you trust?

Our little 4 screen theatre has it. it has been showing the move since the movie opened! Your theatre probably did not want to pay for it or was unable to get access to it. Hopefully they will, eventually. Size of theatre is not the issue. $$$ and availability of the film is.
