	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A beautiful, arty, very Malick-influenced evocation of Abraham Lincoln’s childhood"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Rendering the life of young Abraham Lincoln as a tone poem, "The Better Angels" sags under the weight of its own resolute earnestness (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"The overall effect is close to parody (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
