Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C- --
It feels more like a poem. Or, at times, a symphony. But it's much less effective as an actual movie.

A dreamlike reverie as well as a uniquely American origin story...

Visually, Angels is a true work of art. Each and every frame of Matthew J. Lloyd's black-and-white cinematography is suitable for framing.

History, as subject matter, is hard enough to sell as cinema. The Better Angels will not make the struggle any easier.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Narrators tell us what to feel, but there's something hollow at the center. The tone of the picture seems perversely oblique.
Seattle Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A gorgeous look at the raw, wooded Indiana of the early 1800s and a dreamy study of the boy Lincoln who was destined to leave it behind.

Rating: 2/4 --
Had Terrence Malick taken a shot at making a Ken Burns movie, it would probably have turned out better than "The Better Angels," A.J. Edwards's humorless, pretentious black-and-white tone poem about a very young Abe Lincoln.

Product Description:
Set in the early 19th century, director A.J. Edwards' THE BETTER ANGELS concerns itself with the boyhood of an American icon: President Abraham Lincoln. The film follows young Abe (Braydon Denney) from his earliest days through harsh disciplines by his father Tom (Jason Clarke), the tragic death of his mother (Brit Marling), and ultimately, the arrival of a stepmother, Sarah Lincoln (Diane Kruger).
