Reviews:

Firing on all Oscar-bait cylinders, _The Post_ is much more about the facts of the events than an insight into the people involved in them. It has some laughs in it, but it’s far from a comedy.

It’s all “what” and no “why”, but also, _The Post_ is built on this HUGE will-they-wont-they question with massive ramifications (“Will Nixon and LBJ be exposed”) and it’s what the whole 108 minute runtime is building up to, but… We already know. The things that happen in _The Post_ are real events that are common knowledge. So it’s kind of… The mystery of the moral quandary was answered before you ever pressed play. I think with the state of journalism and even more so the state of politics the way it is now in America, that _The Post_ was a very timely film, and with a cast like this assembled, obviously nobody in it is bad.

But does _The Post_ deserve the awards consideration it has gotten? Personally, I don’t think it does.

_Final rating:★★½ – Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._

The movie is very interesting and clearly very curated in the cast and scenography. It tells an important piece of American history and is an ode to press freedom.

However, I found it rather slow in development and a bit too lost in too many conversations. Lacks a bit of action/movement.

A movie, not a documentary
I enjoyed this movie. It must be kept in mind this is a movie, a drama and not a documentary. As such, this is a good movie. The pace is good and we follow the events and decisions that had to be made. Meryl Streep shows why she wins Oscars, the self-doubt and hesitation that she portrays was a masterful performance. Tom Hanks’ character was serviceable and pretty one note, and the only nice character turn was near the end after speaking to his wife about the heroics of Streep’s character.

A number of people said the movie was too preachy and was worried about that before seeing the movie. I didn’t find that at all after watching the movie. Yes, verses a documentary, this movie did have a theme and message, but I knew what this movie was about freedom of the press before going to see it. I grew up in that time period, so I knew the outcome also.

Good, but not great
THE POST is Steven Spielberg’s attempt to make a newspaper-focused political thriller along the lines of ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN or SPOTLIGHT. As a film, it fails in comparison to either of those classic movies, although it does have plenty of reasons to tune in. The direction is adequate and the material fine, although this isn’t as good as BRIDGE OF SPIES as it doesn’t have the same heart. The main problem I have with this is Meryl Streep, giving a performance EXACTLY the same as the one in THE IRON LADY. Her character feels extraneous, shoehorned into the story to add a modern-day feminist spin, and the whole moral dilemma she faces is more than tiresome. The good news is that, back in the newsroom, an all-but unrecognisable Tom Hanks is at the top of his game and leads the meat of the story, which is involved and suspenseful enough to keep you watching and engaged in the tale that plays out.
