The Post's reviews
Media reviews
The Telegraph
Shot and edited by Spielberg and his team in less than six months, 'The Post' is very evidently a strike-while-the-story?s-hot kind of project, and it finds the master filmmaker at his most thrillingly supple and intuitive.
Indiewire
A master chef preparing an entire feast inside a pressure cooker, Spielberg shoots The Post like every shot was delivered to the studio on a deadline, and the result is a film that combines the spartan clarity of hard journalism with the raw suspense of an Indiana Jones adventure.
The Wrap
'The Post' passes the trickiest tests of a historical drama: It makes us understand that decisions that have been validated by the lens of history were difficult ones to make in the moment, and it generates suspense over how all the pieces fell into place to make those decisions come to fruition.
Screen Crush
All I can tell you is 'The Post' is the first movie that ever made me cry about an abstract concept. And when it was over, I found myself particularly happy to see Meryl Streep?s name first in the closing credits.
The Guardian
Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep give excellent performances, though not exactly a stretch in either case, and both with a tiny, tasty touch of cheese. Their characterisations are luxuriously upholstered, effortlessly fluent, busting with relatability.
