Some reactions to the secret screening of "Lincoln" at the NY Film Festival:
Sasha Stone @awardsdaily
Happy to hear Lincoln was so well received at #NYFF
Clayton Davis @awardscircuit
Spielberg in definite contention for Oscar number three. #NYFF #LINCOLN
Matt Patches @misterpatches
Spielberg's Lincoln turns a defining moment in history into a human story. Day-Lewis is dynamic, but it's a great ensemble piece. #NYFF
The Film Society @filmlinc
Standing ovation at #NYFF now as Steven Spielberg takes stage with writer Tony Kushner. Another as he intros Daniel Day Lewis & Sally Field.
Steven Zeitchik @zeitchiklat
Lincoln is wonky, lyrical and compelling. #nyff #Spielberg
Steven Zeitchik @zeitchiklat
Daniel Day-Lewis much more understated and playful than the scenery-chewing trailer suggests. #nyff #lincoln
Logan Hill @loganhill33
Spielberg's Lincoln at #NYFF was rock solid monument to Abe, a bounce back from War Horse. Predix: Oscar noms galore. Tommy Lee Jones FTW
Clayton Davis @awardscircuit
LINCOLN soars and Spielbergs best in years #NYFF
Matt Patches @misterpatches
Chick who tweeted about hooking up w/ Fassbender after Shame last yr is tweeting from #NYFF again. She thought Lincoln was OK cc
Cory Everett @modage
Lincoln (C) Not as bad as the trailers suggested but not interesting enough to watch again. A fine history lesson but not much more.

#Lincoln Tommy Lee Jones has the flashy emotional part with big scenes. He will an awards magnet this year #NYFF

Just saw LINCOLN at #NYFF. Swept up by grand Americana theatricality & strong perfs. 1800s West Wing? A bit. Engrossing political melodrama!
Michelle McCue @ohman4
RT @hitfixgregory: Gotten four reactions to Lincoln at #nyff so far. Two loved. Two disliked. Reaction to Sally Field universal.
Bram Benderoff @bramsky600
Another thing about #Lincoln. Tommy Lee Jones is at his best. It's a shame it wasn't for a more balanced movie. Give him an oscar!
Tomris Laffly @tomilaffly
LINCOLN's beautifully restrained. Evidently product of a playwright. Folks will talk about DDL, but Tommy Lee Jones steals the show. #NYFF
Chris Narine @thechrisvolta
#Lincoln was awful, one of the worst films of the year. Great work from Daniel Day Lewis & JGL though #NYFF
April Roberts @aprilesroberts
Amazing night at #NYFF - Spielberg's LINCOLN has amazing performances all around - Daniel Day Lewis inhabits the role utterly
Devin Fuller @devfull
I liked Lincoln more than I thought I would. So take that as a recommendation. #NYFF
Delaney @delaneyg84
Yeah this "Lincoln" tepid tracking results @ #NYFF is making no sense and yet all the sense in the world. Won't matter a lick come Feb.
