De film over The Washington Post-uitgeefster Kay Graham en haar redacteur Ben Bradlee in hun strijd om de waarheid te achterhalen over de Amerikaanse inmenging in Vietnam, lijkt iedereen te kunnen overtuigen.

Veel kijkers spreken van een Spielberg-film pur sang.

Ook de acteerprestaties van Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks en Bob Odenkirk worden geprezen.

#ThePost is excellent. Obvious but well worth saying – Streep and Hanks are fantastic. Takes some time to build but was *very* moved by Katharine Graham’s experience and how incredibly important it is to tell this story right now.

Timely, bold, and entertaining, Spielberg’s THE POST is an all caps JOURNALISM tale featuring powerhouse performances from Streep and Hanks.

En een deel van het publiek benadrukt hoe actueel de film is.

The Post is an important film, not just to history, but to the now. Streep is amazing. My audience broke into applause at least 6 times during the movie itself. Spielberg’s best film since Munich.

Exhilarating. Profound. Confident. Thrilling. Spielberg’s #ThePost might not be the best movie I’ve seen this year, but it speaks to now in ways that set my heart ablaze. Streep is stunning.

THE POST: Supremely, intently hyper-focused on every single aspect of a monumental issue without ever sacrificing nuance or emotion. Loved it so much.

Het drama wordt dan ook al getipt voor de Oscars.
