A good drama. I loved it for the politics…

The Post doesn't capitalize fully on a stellar cast and story material, but that's still enough to make a worthwhile, if occasionally dull, drama…

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