The Post Reviews
Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas sao mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
Excellent docu-drama with outstanding performances by the entire cast. Very, very well done, all around!
A great film about a newspaper company. Steven Spielberg is a great director. Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep did a nice job too. It was cool to see Washington DC. A wonderful movie.
An important true story in America's history was overshadowed by Steven Spielburg's overly theatric way of filming.
This story makes Watergate seem like an afterthought! As classified documents concerning the Vietnam War become common knowledge, the Washington Post races against the clock to expose a cover-up that spans decades of scandal. A riveting retelling of the Pentagon Papers with the illustrious Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in the lead, this story reveals some of the secrets out government keeps from its own citizens!
This movie is driven by the stellar acting performance from the usuals such as Hanks and Streep. This is clearly aiming for Oscar lore thru is costumes, auditing and visual that director Steven Spielberg uses to further emphasize the importance of the film to the viewers. The film lives up to its nomination of best picture.
Good film. A Throwback to the independent free press of the 1970's.
I couldn't quit watching! If we had only known sooner
The story is of cause ok since it is a true one. However it is not presented in a good and interesting way. Not even Tom Hanks could help the film to a good grade. I did not expect much from Meryl Streeps since she always are overrated. No other of the actors impressed on me so I give the film a low grade.
I love a good journalism movie and Spielberg delivers a good one. It might not be Spielberg at his best, but even weak Spielberg is better then a lot of things.
I found this, overall, quite a re-assuring film. I say that as its re-assuring that there were/are journalists prepared to speak up about things the government had tried to hide from the public. I liked that it also focussed on Meryl Streeps character, Kay Graham, being the first American female newspaper publisher - the fact being that in previous generations, men would always be assumed to take up such high job roles. Of course these days, the themes covered in this film, the freedom of speech allowed to the printed press among other things, are very relevant, it could be argued that its more relevant now than in the past and so this film is certainly thought provoking and well worth a watch, with solid performances from both Tom Hanks as the editor and Meryl Streep. I would definitely recommend this film, yes.
I enjoyed this one as the story alone was exciting based on a true story plus the cast was great too.
Spielberg is so wonderful that it made me care and want to know more than one story about a newspaper article.
The ensemble cast is certainly strong, but I would have preferred that the characters of some of the front-line reporters (such as interesting cast members Odenkirk and Coon) were given more to do onscreen to build their newspaper's story (and thereby generate some real suspense), rather than a bunch of contemporary VIPs repeatedly preaching the obvious, if laudable, free speech message. Instead the filmmakers unsatisfactorily rely on the tired "hold the presses" style climax. However, The Post is worth it for the performances.
The movie is excellent I do not know the details but it is enough that the government allows us to know from the internet! I recommend - a part of history not learned at school! I am always impressed by brave people, really professional, well educated, and extremely worthy! Obviously, we are missing something like this nowadays - You rarely see truly professional journalists like the ones in this movie!
The Washington Post is one of my daily readings and love the true story being told about where it came from and the Dynamics between Journalism and the empire that some have made. Hanks and Streep Crushed this. as was expected!
The movie should open with the screen card, "Anyone whose worldview is not that of Aaron Sorkin may turn off this movie now."
Fantastic storyline, poignant for today's climate, and superb acting. The only downfall is the lack of screen time given to Sarah Paulson - she had a brief shining moment towards the end of the film in an otherwise stereotypical 60s housewife role.
