The Post was good but it was a bit of a let down. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks both give excellent performances…

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…

Story A, acting B+, cinemaphotography B+, editing B+, continuity B+, believability B+, worth watching B+…

Deep and very dramatic story with so much importance. Cast is absolutely fantastic…

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

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

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

Typically well-made Spielberg film but the story and characters are snore-worthy…

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…

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