  An appallingly disingenuous film. There's a lot of bluster here about how Kay Graham could lose The Post. That was theoretically possible but never really likely at all. And even if The Post had folded, so what? Graham was a very wealthy woman and she wasn't going to starve, and the journalists would've found employment elsewhere. Who was the actual hero of the real story? It was Daniel Ellberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers. He was facing a possible death sentence. Yet this film barely acknowledges him. This movie regulates Ellberg to the role of extra.in his own heroic story. This movie utterly shafts Ellberg and says that the real heroes are the news media. It's insulting. And it's bad drama, because it does not prioritize the stakes and consequences correctly at all. This is nothing more than revisionist garbage.

  This movie tries to be "All the President's Men" but doesn't come remotely close. Acting is poor and casting of the two major characters is even more poor.

  It gets across the intensity of that real life story.

  Boring pretty much throughout. To save her career Streep got on the Me Too bandwagon when she's actually the poster girl for the We Knew one.

  If I wanted to see a movie take so long to turn into anything significant I'd watch a documentary.

  Excellent, pertinent. A key historical event well presented. Portrays the relevance and importance of a free press and how intelligent, inquisitive minds utilized the tools of investigative reporting for that event and the one that followed -suggested at he end of the movie-, which resulted in the resignation of President Nixon. Meryl Streep and her magnificent portrayal of Katherine Graham, is testimony to her excellent acting.

  I read a lot of the reviews here (many against, some for) that seemed like the person writing the review had made up their mind about it for political reasons before even having seen it. Some of them have likely reviewed it without ever seeing it. I did see the film and I know the actual history behind the events. And while not perfect, I thought it was pretty good overall. One thing that impressed me was that as the story built to its conclusion, I felt real suspense despite knowing how things turned out. If you can make a picture that does that, somebody's doing something right.
