WHAT I LIKED: A telling and politically-relevant account of the release of the Pentagon Papers in an 'All the President's Men,' style journalistic thriller, Steven Spielberg's 'The Post,' is a thoroughly engaging and very interesting experience that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Yes, thanks in large part to Spielberg's experienced directorial hand and John Williams' brilliant score - but also thanks to a story that focuses on the people at its centre - you can guarantee that this film will have you constantly on the edge of your seat and gripping the arm-rests as you're swept up in its unfolding story. It's a great watch, and it was only made possible in its six weeks of production because of the incredible veteran-like experience of everyone involved.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Its frantic pace means that it never really gets to the bottom of its political significance, but that's never been Spielberg's style anyway.
VERDICT: A gripping and interesting account of the release of the Pentagon Papers, Spielberg's 'The Post,' is made by some of the most experienced hands in Hollywood, and it definitely shows.0 member like this review.
