Spielberg can't help but turn this into a message movie, and, occasionally, that can feel a little heavy-handed…

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…

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

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

While I feel that its attemps at being more inpsirational and emotional than other journalistic dramas mostly fall flat, when it does focus…

Another alt left revisionist history piece as facually accurate as a DC comicbook…

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

Makes sure its unashamedly idealised points about freedom of the press and political culpability stand loud, proud and are as timely now as…

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…

A good drama. I loved it for the politics…
