REVIEWS

"Consistently sophisticated, smartly detailed and intelligent piece of nonfiction.

James Callanan adds superb cinematography that brings Civil War battle scenes

and White House dinners to vivid life."

~Hollywood Reporter. 


"This ambitious and compelling six hour joint biography probably ought to be

required viewing...an example of a near-perfect realization of the prevailing idiom."

~Chicago Tribune 

"An extraordinary PBS documentary...Deserves to stand alongside 'The Civil War'

as a television landmark."

~Orlando Sentinel 

"A saga of epic and tragic proportions...Historical documentary doesn't get any better than 'Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided'."

~Houston Chronicle 

"The production has an elegant and somber look, due to the cinematography of James Callanan, enhanced by the mostly melancholy music by Michael Bacon."

~Films in Review.
