Review of The Post (2017) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 04 Jan 2018
The Post is on safe ground when it focuses on Streep as Graham — tentative, slightly affected, but growing by the day — and with Graham’s relationship with her gruff, hotshot editor, Ben Bradlee, played by Tom Hanks, against type but winningly.
The movie’s challenge is the journalism story, which is not as clear-cut as Watergate and is therefore harder to dramatize.
