Review of The Post (2017) by Jurman7 — 26 Jan 2018
Although I have seen much better performances from both Streep and Hanks, this movie sends a non-partisan message of an authoritarian wartime government vs the press that is timeless. I wish the producers were as concerned with selling the story as they were with selling the actors telling it.
As far as pacing is concerned it dragged in the beginning and picked up way too quickly in the second half at times where the audience should have been able to digest the plot. The ending is what ultimately saves this movie from being sub-par.
The way Spielberg wrapped up this story through the perspective of Nixon and his actions, fired up both me and my friends sitting in the theater.
