Call it a tonic for the times, if you will. I think it's needed, and Spielberg was the right guy to give it to us…

How can a film based on such incredible events feel this generic…

Spielberg has assembled the best cast that gives us a spectacular film that reminds us to fight for the rights we've been given, particularly…

While I feel that its attemps at being more inpsirational and emotional than other journalistic dramas mostly fall flat, when it does focus…

The Post wants to make sure viewers confront its themes directly and explicitly rather than allow the subtlety of the progressing narrative…

Makes sure its unashamedly idealised points about freedom of the press and political culpability stand loud, proud and are as timely now as…

[Liz] Hannah has really crafted a story of Graham's strength to show the world (and herself) what a woman can accomplish…

It seems somewhat surprising that 2017’s The Post marks the first time that Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks have all collaborated…

An important chapter in a story that is still being written. Great direction and performances, as would be expected from this ensemble…
