Review of The Post (2017) by Grantd243 — 24 Apr 2018
The Post may be one of the most heavily cast films in quite a while. Almost everyone in the film is well known for one project or another, and two of the greatest actors alive are playing the two lead roles.
It is obvious that this was an all out attempt to win all of the awards, but surprisingly the film doesn't appear to be a favorite for really any of the major awards. And that's surprising to me, very surprising, because I found this film riveting from start to finish.
The matter at hand couldn't be more relevant today, and the way Spielberg decided to present the story takes what could be a rather slow and boring film and turns it into a highly re-watchable film. I will say that I might be a bit more interested in the subject matter at hand than most people, which may factor into my fondness of this film, but I still think most people will enjoy it.
2018 is off to a good start.
