My problem with tigerland is it tries to be like the great war movies like apocalypse now and full metal jacket too much…

More Reviews of The Post

The actors were phenomenal. The cinematography and editing made the film gorgeous. The writing was powerful and intelligent. Overall it was brilliant…

An important chapter in a story that is still being written. Great direction and performances, as would be expected from this ensemble…

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

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

This was very good, I heard they shot it in a very short length of time and I kind of knew about the story but this film cleared it all up,…

Sure, The Post is blunt in its messaging and of course contains that Spielberg sentimentality, but it's a vital work that deserves to be seen…

The greatest strength contained within The Post is the fact that it refuses to grab a pulpit and preach to the choir…

The Post wants to make sure viewers confront its themes directly and explicitly rather than allow the subtlety of the progressing narrative…

A great movie. Saw it at school one of the few good movies I saw at school…

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…
