me six months ago: what the hell kind of boring shit is this gonna be
spielberg: happy awards season. here’s a movie, eat it up
me now: delicious. finally some good fucking food
There’s topical, there’s timely, and then there’s “The Post,” which feels less like a historical thriller set in 1971 than it does an exhilarating caricature of the year 2017. While Steven Spielberg’s latest film rivetingly dramatizes the publication of the Pentagon Papers (and eloquently unpacks the consequences of their dissemination), “The Post” wears the Nixon era like a flimsy disguise that it wants you to see right through.
That’s not to take away from Ann Roth’s ratty and exquisite period costume design, or to detract from how immaculately set decorator Rena DeAngelo recreated the smokey thrum of the old Washington Post newsroom. It’s certainly not to diminish Meryl Streep’s fraught and powerfully grounded portrayal of the late publishing scion Katharine…
A Movie About People Who Are Good At Their Jobs made by people who are very, very good at their jobs.
Double duty as a classic Spielberg old man movie and a calculated hot take. SPOTLIGHT but directed by one of the greatest born filmmakers currently working.
52/100
Wish I'd jotted down some notes on this, because a week later I can barely remember any details, apart from the pandering shot of Graham walking down the courthouse steps while a crowd made up exclusively of young women stare at her as if she's Athena descending Mount Olympus. And honestly I can't improve on the unsourced Facebook comment aptly observing (as paraphrased by David Edelstein) that "telling the Pentagon Papers story from the vantage of the Washington Post is like telling the Watergate story from the vantage of the New York Times." The overall stakes for the First Amendment are high, but the ground-level stakes for the Post itself (not counting the impending IPO, which is hard to…
best picture showcase: film #8
god..... i thought i would lose interest the second time around but this is just as entertaining. it makes perfect sense and keeps me involved the whole time. i really am in a theater yet again surrounded by the elderly, sitting on the edge of my seat like “Yes! print that paper Bitch!” maybe i’m one of them now...
Love a good movie about exposing America’s endless shit past. One of my favorite genres actually.
The interests of bourgeois "feminists" is not in line with the interests of working women. This is not a new idea. Kay Graham's risks of her "fortune" and her paper are nothing as compared to the risks taken by the woman who drops off the first pages of the Pentagon Papers, nor the risks of the working women affected by the war, especially not the Vietnamese women who were massacred by U.S. soldiers. Kay Graham's interests are personal, individualistic, and petty. A film that glorifies a woman who was close personal friends with war criminals and felt bad about exposing them is not a feminist film. Kay Graham was not a good person. She came to the correct decision by…
