The Post is an excellent re-telling of its era and the significant change brought about by courageous reporting. It is also a cautionary tale of what happens when the government attempts to intimidate the press.

The acting of Tom Hanks is stellar, as is Meryl Streep. I was impressed by the cinematography, appropriate color-keying, and director’s choices. Regardless of how one feels about the story, the underlying politics of the time, the persons, etc. this is a must-see moview if for nothing else by its craft.

Rated – 4/5 Stars
