The Post Reviews
For a good three-quarters of his movie Spielberg brilliantly balanced two very different but equally enthralling stories.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022
To call this film of the moment would be a gross understatement. But more importantly, it's another deftly entertaining Spielberg film.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 16, 2022
It's [a movie] we need now, when it feels increasingly like both women and journalism are targets of the powers that be. Bravo to Streep, Hanks, Spielberg, and everyone involved in this film for standing up and saying that's unacceptable

Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks lead a superb ensemble cast in Steven Spielberg's handsome telling...

Katharine Graham is a women to be much admired, and superb role model for women of all ages. Her story is extremely important, and Meryl Streep does an admirable job of portraying her.

An energetic tale that needs to be heard in America right now.

It takes talent to tell us something we already know, but to make us believe that anything could happen.

Meryl Streep, as we have come to expect, is a force to be reckoned with in The Post, spitting out mile-a-minute dialogue and wrestling with the moral dilemma of printing the Pentagon Papers.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2021
The entire film is quiet and riveting.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021
The all-star, ensemble cast is fun to watch, but they're unable to save the story from its disarray.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 5, 2020
Steven Spielberg at his most solid historical best.
| Nov 16, 2020
One of the year's best and most timely films.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020
It's hard to believe that Hanks and Streep have never starred together and that Streep has never acted for Spielberg. All three icons collide in "The Post," providing a timely defense of the free press in a good old-fashioned piece of entertainment.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 29, 2020
While it lacks a hard-hitting edge, The Post has all the elements of a classic Spielberg adventure.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2020
Multi-layered rich visitation to the era of 1971, is a timely stirring masterpiece and a reminder of how far we have come.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2020
Spielberg's film conscientiously and intelligently represents these events and brings out a number of critical questions, including freedom of the press [and] the right of the population to know what the authorities are up to...

Agreeing with a movie doesn't equal enjoying it, and a movie should never be safe when its lead is anything but.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2020
The Post is grown up filmmaking, made by professionals all clicking in near perfect sync with each other.
