Review of The Post (2017) by Justin J — 28 Jan 2018
An elaborate exercise in the application of the presentist fallacy, "The Post" does for the cinema of journalism what "The Newsroom" did for television: it uses history to preach to a choir of self-satisfied, smug circle-jerkers who pat themselves on the back for stating (and re-stating) a proposition that is already quite obvious to reasonable people.
Should the First Amendment be defended and protected? Yes.
Should anyone waste their time with this treacly, sanctimonious nonsense? No.
