Recommended. Hanks! Streep! Spielberg! What could go wrong? Well, lots . . . but not this time. The Post arrives at precisely the correct political moment. A time when women and journalism are both speaking angry to power. Speilberg’s talent for finding the baby boomer touchstone is legend, as is his fascination with history as drama. I was a bit irritated by the gratuitous use of overlapping dialogue. Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad) is wonderful but I had issues with Tom Hanks, who played Post editor Ben Bradlee with maybe too much cartoonish gruffness and this is not Meryl Streep’s best acting. It’s tough to tell a story when the crisis is expected and the answer, well-known. The Washington Post did release the Pentagon Papers; we do know the government lied about the Vietnam War. But Spielberg has been doing tension well since Duel in 1971, the same year that’s covered by The Post.
