Solid movie but not the masterpiece I was expecting. It felt like it could have been more suspenseful than it was.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)
