Review of The Post (2017) by Mattkingsbury — 08 Jun 2020
How can a film based on such incredible events feel this generic? While the film most certainly has its stand-out moments, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks sadly are unable to bring to life the characters they are portraying.
The score especially feels generic and out of place. The direction is a net win, with beautiful shots within the film. I can't help but feel that if you want to see a film about the press uncovering the terrible secrets we try to keep under the rug, you should go and watch Spotlight instead.
