Movie started of slow and sloppy. Actor roles were cliché and at times overacted by majorly Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks…

This was very good, I heard they shot it in a very short length of time and I kind of knew about the story but this film cleared it all up,…

This is the definition of an average film Good acting (especially by Meryl Streep) & an interesting story, but it really doesn't have much…

The Post manages to make copy editing feel suspenseful and exciting. This is an accomplishment worth celebrating…

Well acted but I found it very strange that a movie about the need to tell the truth would have so many inaccuracies on what really transpired…

Spielberg can't help but turn this into a message movie, and, occasionally, that can feel a little heavy-handed…

11/3/18 Our DVR started recording this 30 minutes in, but we had no idea we had missed the first half hour…

Well acted but I found it very strange that a movie about the need to tell the truth would have so many inaccuracies on what really transpired…

The greatest strength contained within The Post is the fact that it refuses to grab a pulpit and preach to the choir…

Story A, acting B+, cinemaphotography B+, editing B+, continuity B+, believability B+, worth watching B+…
