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
Why did Saul Goodman tell the flight attendant he had government secrets on the plane? Is he stupid?
A Movie About People Who Are Good At Their Jobs made by people who are very, very good at their jobs.
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…
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.

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…

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...
the gears of journalism literally shake a room to life in one scene. Spielberg in love with process and principle yet again, and I'm right there with him
I loooooooove how this was shot and the overall look and style of it. I don’t know man, wasn’t expecting much but I ended up really enjoying it. Briefly forgot how good Spielberg is at what he does.
