More Reviews of The Post

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

Streep and Hanks, who have surprisingly never worked together before, have seamless chemistry that drives The Post toward its crowd-pleasing…

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

The actors were phenomenal. The cinematography and editing made the film gorgeous. The writing was powerful and intelligent. Overall it was brilliant…

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

This movie was an amazing performance from the actors and the directors which made the viewer fall in to the feeling of the era of the movie…

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

The Post doesn't capitalize fully on a stellar cast and story material, but that's still enough to make a worthwhile, if occasionally dull, drama…

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

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…
