Atom User Reviews for The Post (2018)
Solid movie but not the masterpiece I was expecting. It felt like it could have been more suspenseful than it was.
Good movie. Great performances.
This movie blew our expectations out of the water. Streep and Hanks were at their highest caliber. A big shout out to Bob Odenkirk for his portrayal without fallling into his typecast sleazy nature. Great slice of our mindedness history felt with tastefully.
This was a great movie!
I ended up watching Star Wars instead
This movie dragged for way too long and it just wasn't interesting at all.
Meryl Streep caught me off guard with her acting. i had to keep reminding myself she was playing a woman working in a man's world. also not enough Zachary Woods... loved him on silicone valley..
I can see why this got nominated. Meryl Streep does a great job, but I would argue that Tom Hanks steals the show (or maybe I'm just partial to Tom Hanks). A feq things could have been better, but overall it was interesting and exciting and really well filmed.
A perfectly structured film with a concrete story. Overall a great watch
Very good movie! Deserves an oscar!
admirable level of details and actors' astonishing acts
As a woman it was an extremely powerful film to see, an inspiring look at how far my gender has come in the eyes of society and a heartfelt reminder in the power and importance of a free press.
Great movie. Both Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks were amazing.
Good story...never picked up steam
stellar cast & acting all around - as usual, Spielberg doesn't disappoint
very slow...must be my age
A bit of a slow start, but it only got better. GREAT ending!
Brave and True!
Hanks and Streep are absolutely in their element. Great story and pacing, but it's mostly dialog. Would recommend for anyone interested in the Vietnam war but maybe don't bring the kids.
Good movie
Absolutely fantastic movie, amazing jobs by both Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.
It wasn't terrible, but not worth seeing in theaters. The characters were hard to follow and the story slow to develop. It's worth seeing, but I wouldn't watch it again or waste money on it in theaters.
Must watch!
it is very relevant in this day and age
great seats and theatre at movie theater
very slow. would be better without Ms Streep.
The movie shows why the original newspaper is important versus the internet. Alot of risks and playing your cards right gets you the story every time. It also highlights what women went through to be part of the business.
Great movie! Best one i have seen in a while!
You mean the Meryl Streep show? Yeah it was fantastic!
Solid movie, good watch but a little slow at times.
hard not to compare this prequel to all the presidents men. great too see this happen at this point in our history. I look forward to watching it again at home followed by all the President's men
I had a good time overall. Well acted and well paced.
Loved it!
Metacritic
The Post is the rare Hollywood movie made not to fulfill marketing imperatives but because the filmmakers felt the subject matter had real and immediate relevance to the crisis both society and print journalism find themselves in right now.
As a filmmaker, Mr. Spielberg invariably comes down on the side of optimism; here, that hopefulness feels right. It also feels like a rallying cry.
True, sometimes director Steven Spielberg lays it on so thick you think he has a trowel. Inspiring scenes are flooded with sunshine. John Williams’ score swells and kvells. (Of course, Spielberg didn’t become America's most popular director by being its subtlest.)
