The Post (2017)
Directed by Steven
Spielberg this film based on real events stars Meryl Streep, Tom
Hanks and Sarah Paulson. With the Washington Post about to go public
it faces a tough choice on publishing classified material.
You can see the finger
prints of Spielberg's story telling all over this script in both good
and bad, slightly heavy handed ways. No doubt this is an enjoyable
and well constructed film but at best you could say it is skirting
the truth when building up the roll of the Post in the affair of the
Pentagon Papers. Another solid effort from Spielberg but a bit
pedestrian as some of his other recent efforts have been.
3/5
