Review of The Post (2017) by Jess_Hill — 12 Jan 2018
A prescient and powerful film that firmly reaffirms the vital role that fourth estate has in holding power to account in a democracy. The performances are superb, the storyline is compelling, and whilst the pacing is surprisingly measured, the cinematography makes up for the occasional lack of visceral tension.
Given the pedigree of this film, it delivered on my high expectations without exceeding them, and it is an accomplished production that delivers an important story in a careful manner, without quite as much dramatic flair as might have been expected from a film of its calibre.
A polished drama well worth your time, and with that, I'm going to bed. 8.
